With the NC General Assembly in its short session, our efforts are fully focused on full practice authority for APRNs, nursing pipeline solutions, school nurse funding, and other important policy issues. The SAVE Act has years worth of momentum, with strong support from influential groups outside of nursing such as AARP, Blue Cross Blue Shield of NC, Americans for Prosperity, March of Dimes, and many more.
NCNA has plenty of advocacy opportunities for our members, whether you’re volunteering to talk to legislators every week, donating to the NC Nurses PAC, or emailing your lawmakers, to make legislative change and move Nursing Forward®
NCNA is once again planning to lead grassroots volunteer opportunities every Tuesday morning while the legislature is in session. We anticipate another year of fun and effective experience advocating for full practice authority for APRNs and other nurse-friendly legislation.
Our primary focus will be the 2023 version of the SAVE Act, and we anticipate most shifts to last roughly two hours.

The NC Nurses PAC is the vehicle for NCNA members to promote candidates, including Registered Nurses, seeking elected office in North Carolina with strong records of supporting nurses and their efforts to provide quality healthcare for patients. We raised more than $72,000 in 2023 and are on pace to exceed that in 2024!
