Rep. Liss Sponsors Resolution Recognizing Michigan Nurses

Nurses honored for their hard work during Nurses Week in Michigan

State Representative Lesia Liss (Warren) championed a House Resolution to declare this week Nurses Week in the state of Michigan. The week recognizes nearly 146,500 nurses who work in the state.

“As a registered nurse myself, I know first-hand the amount of hard work and dedication it takes to be a nurse,” Liss said. “Nurses are on the front lines of providing quality health care to the people of our state. Nurses don’t only take temperatures, check blood pressure and perform other tests, but they also educate about health and nutrition, offer support to people recovering from illness and injury and give support to people who are suffering. The work they do is demanding and it deserves recognition.

With her background in nursing and experience in the health care field, supporting health care professionals has been one of Liss’ top priorities in the Legislature. A bill she sponsored to make it more difficult for people addicted to pain killers to doctor shop for prescriptions was recently signed into law. She is also sponsoring bills to recognize advanced practice registered nurses in Michigan and prevent people convicted of neglect and abuse and other crimes from working in medical settings in the state.

House Resolution 244 was passed by the House on May 1.

“I’m glad that nurses in Michigan are being recognized for the work they do,” Liss said. “Day in and day out, nurses are on the job to make life better for the residents of our state.”
