I am also a member of WSNA, an affiliate of ANA. We endorsed her in 2008 as well. The ANA is a very awesome endorsement, they are not only great for nurses, they form alliances and support unions from a number of different areas. Very strong work, great nursing research. And are all about workers rights. When I went to the WSNA convention a lot of the conversation was about how successful the ACA has been in Washington state, and what a incredible opportunity it is to further nursing practice, as well as areas we need to work on to improve the ACA.

I am ecstatic at this endorsement
