I was able to meet nurses from many areas of the county that had amazing things to share about what their state is doing to support nurses. This gave me an overwhelming urge to want to do more with and for my colleagues.

The KNF funding was a blessing to allow us to take nursing students to Asheville,NC and help so many people.

Impact on my work as a nurse - confirming the ripple effect of even one conversation with a nursing student or nurse.

Overall impact of KNA activity on me as a nurse - I know I am not alone, that collaboration with other nurses helps each of us.

It is difficult to decide. Legislative Day deepened my understanding of policy and reaffirmed my respect for all of us that are supporting different issues in Ky. I feel like being there in person allowed me to engage with members I don’t get to see in person that often. I was inspired by seeing so many students there - since they are our future. ALSO, the human trafficking CE was AMAZING!! Although I have read and attended similar presentations, this one was truly great :-)
