188,000+ NURSES (RNs) in ILLINOIS
Nursing is the largest licensed professional group in the State, with hundreds of nurses living in each of the 59 Senate Districts in Illinois. Nursing is the most trusted profession and has held that title for many years.
It is now time to take advantage of the TRUST by making nursing’s voice heard in each and every part of the State!
The Plan: Involve all nursing organizations, get input from nurses across the state and deepen our ties with our legislators.
The Purpose: To coordinate working together to create one voice of nursing, supporting priorities, while at the same time, maintaining a separate identity.
When nurses stand united, patients win and our profession gains strength.
Nurses bring skill, judgment, and compassion to every shift. When we act together, leaders listen.
- Laws change.
- Workplaces improve.
- Data proves it.
States with strong nurse advocacy groups report higher staffing ratios, lower burnout rates, and safer patient outcomes.
Your voice shapes policy. Your stories influence lawmakers. Your membership builds leverage in budget talks, scope of practice decisions, and workforce planning.
Unity turns concern into action. It supports safe staffing. It protects your license and your wellbeing.
Stand with your colleagues.
Speak with one voice.
Lead the future of nursing.
