PSNA’s Annual Legislative Day
In response to COVID-19, the Department of General Services has announced that, effective Friday, March 13, 2020, all public events in the Capitol Complex will be canceled until further notice.
This includes all buildings reserved and included in PSNA’s annual Legislative Day.
Please stay tuned as PSNA makes final decisions regarding this event.
Should the event be canceled, all paid registrants will be reimbursed. Questions can be directed to [email protected].
The Pennsylvania State Nurses Association (PSNA) will hold its annual Legislative Day on April 8, 2020 in Harrisburg. Nurses and students are invited to join us as we advocate for the profession and our patients in Pennsylvania.
PSNA’s Legislative Day is an important and informative day for nurses in Pennsylvania. Unfortunately, nurses are under-represented in our state’s legislature. Although we are the largest group of healthcare providers in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, only two members of the General Assembly are RNs. Therefore, it is our responsibility and privilege to share our knowledge and expertise with local officials.
Register using the “Tickets” icon on the top right of this page.
