write an “elevator speech” to your legislator. This is your scenario: A bill is being heard at the capitol to give nurse practitioners full practice authority in your state. You are at the capitol building to hear the testimony when your legislator gets on the elevator with you. You have 2-3 minutes of your legislator’s undivided attention to convince them how to vote. What will you say? Your argument can be in support or in opposition of full practice authority. However, you must justify your stance with evidence and demographics from your area (Lafayette, Louisiana). Please identify your state level legislators (Louisiana) (representative and senator state only, not federal). Minimum of 5 references (at least 1 must be from a peer reviewed journal) Examples of some of the references you may use: Accestocarela.com https://legis.la.gov/legis/FindMyLegislators.aspx https://www.labudget.org/district-fact-sheets/
