Nurses have a unique and valuable perspective on issues affecting the health and wellness of the citizens of Nevada. As nurses, we need to be instrumental in electing legislators that want to listen, understand and actively seek solutions for these issues. The primary elections are coming up quickly. This year the elections will be held on June 8, 2010. Have you registered to vote? If not, the last day to register, in order to vote in the primary elections, is May 18, 2010. A fantastic website for election information, including the voter registration process is: http://nvsos.gov/index.aspx?page=3 .

And remember, according to Plato " One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being ruled by your inferiors."
