We are getting really close to seeing hard work and collaboration for School Nurses Compensation being discussed in the House. We need Nurses of all walks of life to be able to meet at the State Capitol for the discussion of HB1242. Arkansas needs this bill to pass to help with high quality nursing recruitment and retention as well as increased student outcomes for receiving both physiological and psychosocial care from qualified school nurses.
We need unity, voices and a strong stand! We had over 450 nurses present at Nurse’s Day at the Capitol. We overwhelmed the legislators with our presence. I am urging for all those that can to do it again.
HB1242 will most likely be discussed on the February 20th Agenda, or February 25th if the weather delays.
Please contact the elected officials in your district to make your voice heard and vote for HB1242 to pass.
