Nursing issue dead for now
To the Editor:
This letter is to inform you and
your readers that I have been
contacted by State Senator David
Nelson and State Representative
Lynn Lundquist regarding House
Bill 3697 (the anti-RN bill being
promoted by the Oregon Hospital
Association) was sent to
committee.
The
House
Committee
on
Commerce
"tabled" the bill and failed to act
on it prior to adjournment of this
legislative session.
Both
representatives are confident this
bill is "dead in committee" and
will not be resurrected.
This is good news for the
public and nursing professionals
all over the state. However we
must remain aware that the lobby
for such a bill will not rest and
we are sure to see some variation
of this bill in the future.
