- The Student Nurses' Association of Pennsylvania will once again be
 offering a special legislative program. The program, Capitol Hill Step By Step, will be an on-the-job learning experience about the political process. Nursing students will have the opportunity to learn on location at our State Capitol building in Harrisburg, PA.
-
- Programs are scheduled for, Tuesday, April 15, 2008 and Tuesday, October 7, 2008 from 9am - 12n at the Pennsylvania State Museum located adjacent to the Capitol. Registration begins at 8:30am.
-
- It is SNAP's intention to provide this program so that nursing students will learn the significance of the political process.
-
- Contact your school's SNAP chapter president, faculty, or dean/director to inquire about how to sign up for this free program. You do not need to be a member to attend. Invite other nursing students to come with you for a enjoyable but meaningful learning experience you
 will long remember. But hurry because reservations are on a "first come, first served" basis!
- Walk through Capitol Hill Step By Step with your chapter and soon you will take our political process in stride!

- Students attending the SNAP Capitol Hill Step by Step program on October 11, 2005 had the opportunity to witness two rallies by different nursing groups. The first was held in the Rotunda to support HB 1721 granting Clinical Nurse Specialist title recognition. The second rally was held outside and was organized by the SEIU. Health care workers were rallying to support
 HB 1400 & SB 422, which would limit mandatory overtime. Michele Campbell, Executive Administrator of the Pennsylvania State Nurses Association, (picture 2) was one of a number of speakers addressing the issue and speaking in support of this legislation.-
- After spending the morning listening to David Ranck, President of TLC Institute and consultant to the SNAP Board, Ms. Campbell speaks about the importance of nurses understanding both the legislative process and regulatory system, this was a wonderful opportunity for nursing students to personally witness how every nurse can affect their practice through legislation.
