On Thursday, October 9, 2014, professional nurses, nursing students and the community are invited to attend the Pennsylvania State Nurses Association (PSNA) Town Hall meeting to share current legislative priorities and practice concerns affecting Pennsylvania’s nurses.  The Town Hall Meeting will be held at the University of Scranton, DeNaples Center, McIlhenny Ballroom from 6:00 pm to 8:30 pm.

The meeting, sponsored by PSNA and PSNA District 4 (Wayne County, Lackawanna County and Pike County) will give nurses the opportunity to discuss issues including safe staffing, violence against health care workers and APRN scopes of practice.  A question and answer period will be included.

This Town Hall meeting will also include state representatives and will help them to learn more about the issues that daily impact nursing practice, recruitment and retention in the Commonwealth.

“PSNA looks forward to the open dialogue the Town Hall creates,” said PSNA Chief Executive Officer Betsy M. Snook, MEd, BSN, RN. “Face-to-face communication allows us to better understand nurses’ needs and effectively advocate for the profession.”
