Time is running out to make sure America's veterans receive the best care possible.

The Department of Veterans Affairs is still collecting public comments on a new rule granting direct access to APRNs in the VA health system. But you only have until Monday to speak out!

If you're ready to stand up for our men and women in uniform, don't wait another moment to take action. Share your thoughts and submit your personalized comment right now.

It's hard to believe that some people are actually against this proposal, but they are submitting their own comments every day. Their claim? Allowing nurses to practice to the full extent of their training is dangerous for veterans' health.

You know what's dangerous? Denying veterans care because there aren't enough providers to see them. If you agree, share your comment now.

This is a chronic problem in facilities across the VA – and with this proposal, we can finally begin to close the gap between the care we can provide, and the care these heroes deserve.

This is our last chance. The nursing community needs to deliver as many comments as possible in support of this proposal before the VA's deadline on Monday.

Don't wait. Share your story before the deadline and submit your personalized public comment and make sure the VA knows where nurses stand.
