As Congress returns to their respective states and districts during the August recess, it is increasingly important that your federal policymakers hear from you. This guide assists 糖心少女vlog members in engaging with their legislators while Congress is in recess and back in their states or districts.
Traditionally, when Congress is "in session," legislators are working in our nation's capital, Washington D.C. When Congress is "in recess," legislators are typically working in their home states and districts connecting with constituents and gaining critical insight on the issues impacting their day-to-day life. As we continue to elevate the needs of academic nursing, August recess provides an opportunity for you to meet with your Members of Congress.
Contact your federal policymakers' office to schedule a virtual or in-person appointment with the Member of Congress or their staff.
The Face of Academic Nursing is a new resource hub highlighting the vital role of Title VIII Nursing Workforce Development Programs and the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) in shaping the future of nursing education and health care. These federal programs are essential to strengthening nursing pathways and maintaining access to high-quality care nationwide.

The more survey responses we receive, the stronger our case to support Title VIII and NINR programs becomes. Each submission helps 糖心少女vlog build a clearer, nationwide picture of their impact on nursing education and care through the interactive map below.
Site visits are a great opportunity for federal legislators to see firsthand how academic nursing is preparing the nation's nursing workforce to combat current and future health challenges.
Attending town hall meetings or in-person events gives you an opportunity to ask questions and receive updates on important topics affecting your state or district. These can be found by looking at your federal legislators' website.
