Our health care delivery system is in crisis and deserves to be a top priority when Texas lawmakers convene in Austin next January. At a time of unprecedented population growth, more Texans are uninsured than in any other state in the nation, health care and insurance costs have soared, and critical shortages in nursing threaten the quality and adequacy of health care delivery and accessibility.
As a former critical care nurse, I know health care providers need to work together so all Texans can count on access to quality patient care. That’s why we focused much of our attention last session on the nursing shortage, with particular emphasis on expanding the number of nurse faculty at the state’s public colleges.
Now, let’s join together to increase the number of graduate-level nursing students, facilitate hospital-based partnerships with nursing schools to leverage the expertise of clinically-based nurses in providing clinical instruction, and provide support for nursing students in an effort to improve retention and graduation rates.
No One Works Harder Than Donna!
Showing up and putting in the long hours to make a positive difference is what Donna promised to do — and that’s exactly what she’s done, according to the non-partisan Texas Legislative Service, which shows that of all 150 members of the Texas House during the last session, Donna’s attendance record was 100 percent.
Still Time to Help Raise the Resources for Positive Change!
The deadline for this campaign reporting period is just five days away — midnight on Monday, June 30. Five days to help guarantee that Donna has the resources to keep our Big Conversation going for finding common ground for Texas.
Your generosity today is urgent. Please help Donna counter her opponent’s negative attacks and keep working for better public schools, more access to affordable health insurance, and the kind of positive change you demand — and deserve.
