This episode we get educated by one of my favorite nurse educators and community activist nurse Teri Mills, the Oregon Nurses Foundation Nurse of the Year(2019). Terri is currently the vice president of Oregon Nurses Association Political Action Committee.  Teri gives us some background on why she decided to advocate beyond the bedside and how this turned into a mission to enact a federal bill. Teri is president of the National Nurse Network which seeks to appoint a National Nurse for Public Health. Why is this important? Please listen, find out why, and sign up for ways you can support this effort.

I am joined today with co-host Lace Velk BSN from episode one. We were very excited to interview her as she was a huge influence for Lace and I being politically minded as nurses.
