A news story will air at 10 pm on KVUE about APRNs practicing as doctors.   According to the commerical, this story is biased against APRNs.   As I understand it ( please correct me if I am wrong) the link to the story has now dissappeared from the KVUE webpage.

Our PMHNPs have asked us to join in and send a message to the KVUE general manager.   Here is an example (used by permission):

"I just sent the following message titled "Nurses Will Contact Advertisers" to the KVUE Director of Sales and to the General Manager.  bwilkinson@kvue.com generalmanager@kvue.com

Dear KVUE,

I was appalled by the preview I viewed of the anti-APRN story that is scheduled to air on Monday. I will watch the newscast and take names of the advertisers. If the story is as biased as the preview, I will contact the advertisers, and encourage my numerous nurse friends, to contact the advertisers to express our displeasure with this histrionic anti-APRN smear campaign.
