Capitol Advocacy Day gives Texas nurses the tools, confidence, and connections to influence the policies that shape nursing practice and patient care. This event combines policy education, issue briefings, storytelling practice, and structured opportunities to connect with lawmakers and peers from across the state.
Participants will learn how the legislative process works, how to communicate effectively with elected officials, and how to connect professional experience to policy priorities. The program is ideal for nurses, students, district leaders, educators, and advocates who want to make their voice heard on issues affecting the nursing workforce, patient safety, access to care, and the health of Texans.
