ANA has taken firm positions on a range of issues including:</p> <ul> <li>Medicare reform;</li> <li>The importance of safe nurse staffing;</li> <li>Workplace violence;</li> <li>Whistleblower protections for health care workers; and</li> <li>Adequate reimbursement for health care services.</li> </ul> <h3>Supporting nurses to lead change</h3> <p>ANA knows that recognizing the essential value of nurses is just the start. Nurses work in all health care settings and have a unique perspective given that they serve in so many diverse roles and specialties. As a result, nurses can offer insights and contributions on how to improve health care in this country.</p> <p>To accomplish this, nurse wellbeing is paramount. While nursing dedication often means that self-care comes low down on the list of priorities, it is vital to put this back on the agenda. With healthier nurses come improved patient outcomes, greater staff retention for organizations, and most importantly: nurses who are treated with the respect that their commitment deserves.</p> <h3>The future of health care</h3> <p>With an aging population and an over-burdened health care system, technical advances in health care are simply not enough. Nurses represent another side to the equation, where knowledge and expertise is balanced with care and compassion. Through empowering nurses to lead health care change, we can truly improve health care for all.</p> <p><a class="e-button--blue" href="/membership/joinANA/">JOIN ANA TODAY</a></p> </div> </div> </div>
