HOSPITALS: Requests police juries to include representatives of the nursing profession on hospital service district commissions.

This Senate Resolution asks local police juries to include a representative from the nursing profession on hospital service district commissions. The bill is based on the fact that nurses are the largest group of hospital employees and interact with patients daily, offering unique insights into patient care. It does not change existing laws or force any appointments but instead serves as a formal request to these local governing bodies. The resolution aims to ensure that the voices of nurses are heard when hospital leadership is selected in Louisiana.
