NOVA Nurses Heading to DC to Advocate for VA Healthcare
Washington D.C., March 1, 2023 – NOVA members from across the country are heading to Washington, D.C. on March 9 to advocate for VA healthcare. Rallying together in support of VA healthcare, nurses - who are often the first person a Veteran sees - will be discussing key issues to include staffing, recruitment & retention and what is needed to strengthen VA healthcare with their Members of Congress. Focusing on NOVA’s 2023 Legislative Priority Goals, NOVA will address clinical shortages, HR vacancies and on-boarding delays, and reviewing salaries so that VA can remain competitive with the private sector to continue to provide the highest level of care for Veterans. Look for the individuals wearing “VA Nurses Care for America’s Veterans” buttons walking the halls of Congress next week and follow us on social media at vanurse.org.
