The Bush Administration’s Record on Nursing Issues

Colleen Conway-Welch, PhD, CNM, FAAN

School of Nursing, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee

The article addresses a number of initiatives taken in 2005 by the Bush Administration to address nursing issues. Summaries are provided of the investments in the Nurse Reinvestment Act, Financial Aid, access issues (including expanded community health centers), costs (including medical liability reform), information technology and the revised fair labor standards. Finally, the author concludes with rationale for complete workforce and workplace system redesign and the need for advanced practice nurses to engage in full scope practice without artificially imposed boundaries.

Key Words: Bush • nursing • financial aid
