Week 4 Assignment: “Yes, I’m Serious” CampaignHaving staffing issues in your facility? Get serious and take a stand!You are receiving this letter as a dedicated nursing professional. We know you want to do the right thing for your patients, but time and the number of patients does not always allow for good-quality care. Please take a few minutes out of your hectic day and let your elected officials know—your patients deserve better care and you want to be able to provide that care for them. Complete the letter attached to this e-mail and submit it to your elected official. Yes, we can make a difference and, yes, we can improve the quality of the care we give. Let’s make nursing’s voice heard—loudly and clearly—let them know, “Yes, I’m Serious!”Continue to page 2….Yes, I’m Serious Campaign Sample Letter to Representative or SenatorDateYour NameYour AddressYour City, State, Zip CodeYour E-mailYour Phone NumberThe Honorable_________________________House of Representatives or United States SenateOffice Address of Representative or SenatorDear Representative/Senator ____________________,(In your first paragraph include personal information and why this topic is of interest to you) I am very fortunate to have been provided with an excellent education that prepared me for the future. I currently work as an (emergency room nurse) in your district and have seen the impact of a decrease in staffing in my (emergency room) and in (my hospital). Recently, I have become very concerned about the legislative impact of not having enough staff members to care for individuals obtaining (emergency room services). Nurses want to provide safe, quality care to the patients that entrust us with their lives. As a government official, I am sure that you share many of these concerns.(Include facts) Research has shown that individuals experiencing a current change in health status may experience anxiety as well as the (emergent condition). For example, in (Iowa), it was found that an individual experiencing (chest pain) waited for (30 minutes to obtain emergency services in an emergency room bay); however, the heart attack was too far extended for the emergency room personnel to be able to save this individual’s life. The availability of adequate numbers of professional emergency room nurses to reach individuals in need of care, and begin to assist them as soon as they reach the emergency room, may save lives. Similar findings have been made in many other states across our country.(State what you are asking for) I ask that you support the Yes, I’m Serious Campaign. In supporting this bill, funding will be provided that will support increased nurse staffing in all areas of hospitals, outpatient facilities, and nursing homes, as well as in other places where nurses practice. This is a very small price to invest in the future of our nation. All individuals should have the opportunity for needed health care services in a timely and effective manner and not be expected to wait once they reach (emergency services) to receive needed health care. I believe that in supporting this bill you will impact the lives of countless members of our community.Sincerely,(Signature)Your NameBottom of FormTop of FormBottom of Form
