ANA is working hard to get as many supportive comments as possible to the VA before the comment period ends on their proposed rule to allow APRNs to work at their full scope of practice. Here’s an easy – and great – way you can support their efforts through your social media.

Please join ANA’s Thunderclap on July 20 to raise awareness of the issue and garner supportive comments before the VA APRN proposed rule open comment period ends on July 25.

A Thunderclap is a campaign that amplifies a message by sending it out on numerous accounts at the same time. This is done by getting users to come to the cause landing page on Thunderclap ahead of time and authorize the use of their social media accounts for this purpose. You are authorizing Thunderclap to send a single message, only once, on your feed.

To make this successful, we need to get as many people as we can to take part. Please go to https://www.thunderclap.it/projects/44355-va-aprn-rule-long-overdue?locale=en before July 20.
