Nurse turnover is highest in the first year. Why? Lack of support. TTP helps retain talented nurses by giving them the foundation to succeed. Missouri can't afford to wait!

Take action now to ensure nursing graduate programs are recognized as professional degrees.
Right now, MSNs, DNPs, and APRN students are limited to much lower federal loan caps — and it’s hurting the future of our profession.

A new nurse in Missouri just finished a 12-hour shift, exhausted and unsure. With TTP, they'd have structured mentorship to build confidence and skills. It's time for change!

In anticipation of upcoming visits to the State Capitol in January, I have placed an order for new personal business cards. This ensures that I will have a professional and convenient way to share my contact information with legislators during my meetings. These cards do not list my place of employment. In preparation for your Capitol visit, you may want to consider doing the same.

I've always believed that everyone has a hidden strength, and for me, that's delivering pep talks that inspire and motivate. I've honed this skill through my experiences in nursing schools, substance use rehab, and even prison, where I've helped young people find a reason to keep moving forward. I've seen firsthand the impact that nurses can have, and right now, many are feeling undervalued and overlooked. But I want you to know that your voices matter, and your contributions are crucial. I recently had the opportunity to discuss the importance of legislative advocacy with a group of nurses, and one of them reached out to me, eager to learn how to make her voice heard. She wanted to learn how to advocate for herself and her patients, and even testify before Congress. I was thrilled to encourage her, and I want to encourage you too - we have the power to create positive change, and together, we can make a real difference. I believe in all of us. We can do this.
