Baker College Nursing Professor Presents at American Nurses Association Assembly

July 8, 2019
Baker College Nursing Professor Presents at American Nurses Association Assembly

Pictured (from left to right): Annette Pepper, Deputy Director ANA-MI; Linda Taft, Past President ANA-MI; Julia Stocker-Schneider, President-elect ANA-MI; Carole Stacy, President ANA-MI; Stacy Slater, Treasurer and Membership Assembly Representative, ANA-MI and Tobi Lyon-Moore, Executive Director ANA-MI at the annual American Nurses Association - Michigan Membership Assembly in Washington D.C.

On Tuesday, June 20, 2019, Baker College Assistant Professor of Nursing Stacy Slater represented the American Nurses Association - Michigan (ANA-MI) at the annual Membership Assembly in Washington D.C.  

As the current Treasurer and Membership Assembly Representative for ANA-MI, Stacy joined the ANA-MI President Carole Stacy, President-elect Julia Stocker-Schneider, and past President Linda Taft and National Director-at-Large MaryLee Pakiser for three days of networking, meeting with elected Congressman and voting on policy proposals and bylaws.

Stacy was part of a task force for ANA-MI that created and submitted a policy proposal for dialogue.  Out of 65 submissions our policy proposal - "Visibility of Nurses in the Media" - was chosen as one of four to be discussed and voted on.  In 1997 the Woodhull Study found that nurses are consulted only 4% of the time as expert sources in healthcare despite being voted the most trusted profession for 17 years in a row. 

In 2017, 20 years later, the Woodhull Study was revisited and found that nurse consults for health news stories dropped to 2%.  The dialogue was well-received by the assembly and Stacy’s tag-line of "4 Million Nurses, 4 Million Voices - Invisible No More" was adopted as the rallying motivation to improve nurse visibility in the media as the go-to source for health news by educating the media, positioning nurses as influencers, and employing a transformational strategy by developing an interprofessional training program with nursing and journalism students.

On Thursday, June 20, 2019, the group had a jam-packed day of meeting with Michigan Senators and Representatives.  ANA-MI asked for support and co-sponsoring of four proposals: Safe Staffing Levels for Nurses and Patients; Home Health Care Planning Improvement Act of 2019; The Workplace Violence Prevention for Health Care and Social Services Workers Act; and Title VIII Nursing Workforce Reauthorization Act.  I

The ANA-MI representatives met with five members of Congress: Senator Debbie Stabenow and Gary Peters, and Representatives Jack Bergman, John Moolenaar, and Tim Walberg.
