We had over 1100 people attend in 2025!

WNA’s 2026 Nurses Day at the Capitol will inform participants of the national and state health policy issues that impact nursing practice, education, and health care delivery. Each participant will be prepared to meet with their legislators to discuss these issues. Participants will identify their legislators when they register for the program - then WNA will arrange individual or group meetings with legislators.

Legislator Visits

WNA will schedule legislator visits for all participants. WNA has created a google doc  for the legislator visit times and schedules, this will be updated in real time, please check this document the day of the conference to confirm the time and location as changes/updates will most likely happen.   State Capitol Floor Plan

How it works:

  • You will identify the names and District #s of your legislators on your registration form, this will be listed on your name tag for a reminder. If you do not see your legislator listed on the google doc - please check your address again for the correct legislator, and inform WNA staff of the change. Please enter your address under the 'Who Are My Legislators' section of The Wisconsin State Legislature Homepage.
  • WNA will attempt to schedule meeting times with all of our registrants' identified legislators - meetings may take place at the Capitol or at Monona Terrace depending on the size of the registrant group for that legislator.
  • It is your responsibility to check that google.doc to see if there is a meeting scheduled with your identified legislators and SHOW UP for the meeting - WNA will provide each legislator with a list of registrants expected to attend the meeting. If you cannot attend your scheduled meeting, please INFORM WNA staff.
  • The google.doc will list each Senator (and district number) with the location/time of the meeting, along with their corresponding Assembly Representative (and district number) location/time. If you don't remember who you choose on your registration form, it will also be on your name tag.

Appointments will be held at either the State Capitol or Monona Terrace after NDAC morning presentations have concluded on February 24th. You will be required to attend your legislator visit to receive the certificate of completion.
