Minnesota Nursing Community Policy Forum

Picture
The Minnesota Nursing Community Policy Forum was formed in 2018 to create a space where nursing organizations in Minnesota could come together to discuss policy issues in common and create strategies to support each other, when possible, at the Minnesota Legislature. All nursing organizations are welcomed to attend and participate fully. 
 
The goals of the Forum are to:
  • Leverage the power of nurses across all areas of nursing to support public policies which improve the health of Minnesotans
  • Build the capacity of the nursing community for grassroots organizing to support the goal of improving the health of Minnesotans. (communication, activating membership)
The hope would be to have meetings twice a year - once before the Legislative Session and once after the Session concludes. 
 
The Minnesota Nursing Community Policy Forum proposed the following Principles that they believe all nursing organizations could support: 
  • Minnesotans should have access to affordable high-quality healthcare.
  • Addressing mental health and suicide prevention are crucial to the wellbeing of Minnesotans and our state. 
  • Access to high quality healthcare should be supported and improved for Minnesotans living in rural communities.
  • All students should have access to on-site school health services.
  •  Minnesota should address gun safety and prevention of gun violence as public health issues. 
  • Healthcare workers should be able to practice in setting that are safe and free from violence. 
 
These Principles have been supported by the Boards of Directors of the following organizations as of 1/16/2020: 
  • MN NACNS 
  • MNORN 
  • MOLN 
  • NAPNAP
  • SNOM
