| |
|
|
WHEREAS, Nurses are consistently rated by the Gallup Poll |
|
|
each year as the highest-ranked professionals for honesty and |
|
|
ethical standards, and across the profession, they share a |
|
|
mission for promoting excellence in patient care, both at the |
|
|
bedside and in the public arena; and |
| |
|
|
WHEREAS, Through their deep commitment to the health and |
|
|
well-being of their patients and their advocacy on behalf of |
|
|
quality health care, Texas nurses have earned the lasting |
|
|
respect, admiration, and appreciation of their fellow citizens; |
|
|
now, therefore, be it |
| |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 89th |
