Congressional representative Lois Capp served as
24thCalifornia’s congressional district representative for the
period 1998-2017. Ever since her election, she was a great
vocalist of nursing and healthcare issues. She made tireless
efforts advocating for improvement in healthcare and need to
capitalize nursing profession hence recognized by American
nurse association (Tate, 2018). During her term as a
congressional representative she passed and sponsored several
bills among them was the Registered Nurse Safe Staffing Act,
improving the healthy safety and outcome of patients by
ensuring there is sufficient staffing of nurses in hospitals.
The bill required all hospitals to establish a panel unit-by-unit
adjusting nurse staffing plans based on underlying factors. This
created awareness about ways nurses need to improve healthcare
for all. Lois is also remembered for passing Nurse Reinvestment
Act in 2002, the passed act amended title Viii of the public
health act used for funding nurse education and workforce
development program (Farmer, 2017). Essentially, the act is
meant to address nursing shortage. Capps advocated for
improved medical coverage for patients suffering from Luo
Gehrig’s disease providing emergency deliberators to local
community and improve mental health. In addition, she also
measure ratified ensuring integrity of medical devices.

Mary Ann Dailey, a Republican member of the Pennsylvania
House of Representatives from Montgomery County,
Pennsylvania graduated from Presbyterian University Hospital
School of Nursing, Philadelphia, Pa, in 1969. In 1992 she
received her Ph.D in Nursing from Widener University. She was
elected as a Republican to the Pennsylvania House of
Representatives in 1999. Ms. Dailey has always felt there
should be a pathway linking Politics to Nursing. She feels the
day to day duties of a Nurse are directly affected by legislature
and being involved with politics as a Nurse can only influence
law in a positive direction. Ms. Dailey’s contributions have
been the following: a bill which allows Nurse Practitioners to
prescribe medications under their scope of practice, assisting
unlicensed personnel achieve success at a job with better
education and opportunities and a policy for unethical situations
that warrant reporting but hospital personnel potentially afraid
to report. Nurse practitioners do prescribe medications under
their scope and even narcotic prescriptions in most states.
Unlicensed personnel, such as medical assistants are more
informed and play a needed role in patient care. They are being
included as a integral part of the patients’ care. As far as
reporting unethical or not acceptable situations, most facilities
have an anonymous reporting system which is monitored and
followed up.
It is interesting to read about a Nurse who then went on to
become part of a Political Party and involved with
legislation. Ms. Dailey was ahead of her time as she obtained
her BSN back in the 60’s AND Ph. D in the 90'S from her
generation, Ms. Dailey is correct in saying the laws do affect
nurses. This has sparked an interest to follow these political
figures who represent nursing. There are so many varied issues,
that we, as nurses, could address. This is not really discussed as
much as it could be, in Nursing school. Nursing is
so encompassing, however, I don't think one can really think of
too many other things early on. But as we continue along in our
careers, there are many different and simple ways we can get
involved.
