Nurse in Washington Program Scholarship Information

The Nurse in Washington Internship (NIWI) offers an intense learning experience for individuals interested in becoming more involved in the legislative and regulatory aspects of healthcare. NIWI is open to any RN that is interested in learning more about the legislative process.

The following program objectives provide a clear view of the purpose of this event:

Demonstrate how nurses can be involved and influence policy at the local and national level. Discuss how to work effectively with legislative staff to advance policy agendas. Network with other nurses with similar clinical/political interests. Describe key steps to effect change in the legislative process. Identify techniques to advance legislative issues at the grassroots level. Identify legislative, political, and economic forces driving health care policy and delivery changes today. Please note that six scholarships will be awarded this year; one scholarship will include full compensation for both the registration fee and travel costs and the remaining five will reimburse the $725 registration fee only.

Completed applications will be judged by the NIWI subcommittee of the WOCN Public Policy committee.
