2.Which of HPNA’s asks resonates most with you?

Supporting the nursing workforce, including allowing APRNs to certify terminal illness for hospice patients and funding Title VIII programs that help educate and train nurses

Funding for palliative care research through National Institutes of Health (NIH)

Protecting clinicians from workforce violence by finalizing standards for healthcare employers

Strengthening the hospice framework through payment reforms and program integrity measures

None of these resonate

3.Do you have a story that illustrates the need for that policy ask?

This could be:

· An example of how current regulations restrict both physicians and APRNs from practicing at the tops of their licensure and training

· A palliative care research program that could be supported with NIH grant funding

· A story about how advance care planning might have helped a patient at the end of life (please keep this general, no names or identifying information)

4.If none of the issues resonate, think about why you do what you do. What made you decide to be a nurse? Did one experience in particular lead you to hospice or palliative care?
