📣 The Respiratory Care Interstate Compact (RCIC) is officially underway in Nebraska! 📣

Senator Roundtree has introduced LB735 this week, moving us one step closer to making compact licensure a reality in Nebraska!

If you want to support efforts like this, one of the most impactful steps you can take is to become a member of the American Association for Respiratory Care - AARC and the Nebraska Society for Respiratory Care (NSRC). Strong membership strengthens advocacy and helps move initiatives like the RCIC forward.
