Nurses Day of Action – Mark Your Calendar for 11/12

Mark your calendar, we’re organizing a virtual Nurses Day of Action

? Date: November 12 

⏰ Time: All day

? Location: Virtual 

On 11/12, advocates will flood lawmakers’ inboxes and social platforms with messages for two critical pieces of federal legislation for nurses: 

  • the Workplace Violence Prevention for Health Care and Social Service Workers Act 
  • the Dr. Lorna Breen Health Care Provider Protection Reauthorization Act 

These bills would help prevent workplace violence and support healthcare workers’ mental health respectively. 

Make Your Mark: 

  • Engage your audiences: send a newsletter, action alert, or issue a press release 
  • Amplify the day of action: post on social media using #NursesDayOfAction2025 and #ThePowerOfNurses
  • Connect with your legislators: email, call, or set up a meeting with your state’s federal legislators and constituents

  Resources are below:   

  Together, we can make an impact for nurses’ well-being on 11/12.
