2025 Accomplishments
- Surveyed members about their registration/voting intentions. Results indicated a large number of nurses were not registered to vote.
- Collaborated with VOT-ER and Healing Politics. Vot-ER and Healing Politics are both non-profit organizations focused on increasing civic engagement within the healthcare sector, but they have different primary goals. Vot-ER focuses on helping patients and providers register to vote, while Healing Politics trains nurses and midwives to run for elected office.
- Results noted that 11% of Ohio nurses were not registered and that more than 60% are not affiliated with a political party that indicates they did not vote in the primary elections (that require designating their political party).
- ANA-Ohio Bootcamp was held in February and March 2025 to teach and inspire nurses about the process of policymaking. The 2026 ANA-Ohio Policy Influencer Bootcamp is an intensive 10-week program designed to empower Ohio nurses to influence healthcare policy. It combines virtual didactic sessions with hands-on, in-person “clinical” experiences at the Ohio Statehouse in Columbus. Participants learn legislative processes, build advocacy skills, and earn continuing education contact hours.
2026 Goals
- Continue voter registration efforts.
- Infuse FAANs throughout ANA-Ohio.
- Explore leadership development niche for ANA-Ohio including strategies.
- Promote increase in number of PhDs
