Policy & Advocacy Resources

CT Nurses Association and the Government Relations Committee (GRC) continuously monitor issues important to nurses, the profession, and the patients we serve. This advocacy work ensures that the nurse’s position on potential laws and policies is seen and heard.

We welcome all voices of nurses to be heard, and opinions to be shared with lawmakers.
