2015 Florida Nurses Association HP-SIG GOALS AND OBJECTIVES: 1. Developing and maintaining a network for communication through FNA Regions to educate and inform FNA members in public policy issues. 2. Developing and maintaining education and information resources regarding health policy and legislation among all stake holders. 3. Promoting and supporting health policy agendas that benefit all Florida RN’s, APRN’S regarding their scopes of practice, patient advocacy and quality outcomes and work environment safety. It has been an active and productive year for the HP-SIG. We currently have 494 members. In addition to the group meeting during the 2014 Membership Assembly, we have had 10 conference call meetings over the year. We reviewed the goals and objectives of the SIG and reaffirmed our agreement to them. We filled all Regional Liaison positions. Members attended and provided input regarding our Legislative priorities during numerous Legislative Delegation meetings around the State, utilizing information packets provided by FNA. There was a special election in Jacksonville in which members actively participated in, in an effort to elect a Representative sensitive to our issues who was endorsed by our Political Action Committee. They were successful. Many members participated in Advocacy Days (formerly Lobby Days) in March 2014 again in an effort to communicate our issues to the elected officials. Members expressed a desire for more educational opportunities. To that we sponsored several Webinars covering varied topics: Media training, Navigating the FNA4 ACTION PACKET, Preparation for Advocacy Days. We had regular Legislative Updates from our lobbyist Alisa LaPolt while the Legislature was in session. It was a good year and we all look forward to continued success and participation. Thank you to all who have helped make this SIG successful and productive. Bonnie Sklaren, RN,MSN,ARNP Facilitator Clinical Nurse Specialist SIG Report Theresa Morrison, Facilitator The CNS-SIG met by tele-conference nine times this year, excluding the two time we didn’t quite get the invite and connection working we had productive dialogue. We revised the 2014 Reference Proposal and Membership Assembly presentation. We wrote a section of the Nurses4Action and published about the CNS role in Florida in the Florida Nurse. Our attendance varied from three to seven, varying nurses at each meeting Ethics SIG Report Jean Davis, EdD, DNP, HCRM, PHCNS-BC, FNP-BC SIG Chairperson The Ethics Special Interest Group (SIG) focus this year has been on the revised Code of Ethics for Nurses published by ANA in January. The new edition of the Code with interpretive statements serves as a reminder of how we can apply our professional ethics to our daily practice. We applaud ANA for updating this important publication and declaring 2015 Nursing’s Year of Ethics! The Ethics SIG is small but evolving, welcoming, and committed to making ethics applicable to everyday nursing practice. We are always interested in having new members join us—from novice to expert. So, please join our monthly Thursday evening conference calls by contacting FNA to receive the dial in information regularly. The Ethics SIG mission to promote the highest standards of ethical practice is fostered through our monthly conference call meetings. We have lively discussions of ethics challenges in our practice and ways to foster ethical discussions in clinical practice. In addition to our monthly conference calls, efforts to highlight Nursing’s Year of Ethics and changes to the Code this year the SIG has: • Developed a poster on the revised Code and Year of Ethics events which has been displayed at FNA meetings this year. • Planned for spotlighting the application of the Code to the mandatory post-travel Ebola direct screening by Florida Department of Health through the 3rd annual August ethics webinar 112
