As an integral part of hospital staffing, nursing is front and center for California hospitals. CHA works closely on many nurse-related issues with the Association of California Nurse Leaders, California Institute for Nursing and Health Care, California Board of Registered Nursing and other related organizations to address clinical, quality, safety and practice issues.

Education and scope-of-practice issues are also addressed in an ongoing dialogue with nurses throughout the state. In addition, CHA has a registered nurse on staff to liaison with the various organizations.
