    POLICY INITIATIVE

    ABNF strongly promotes well-informed and politically engaged nurse advocates, who seek to gain a better understanding of the political and regulatory processes impacting the discipline of nursing. Toward that end, the ABNF Public Policy Scholars Award will support the attendance of one ABNF member at a professional conference, which covers content related to health policy, legislative initiatives, and regulatory practices (Note that the conference must be preapproved as a Policy conference).
