"I stood with Teri in the past in an effort to support the work of Iowa nurses and I am honored to have her support," Senator Clinton said. "As president, I will work to give nurses in Iowa a real voice in hospital procedures that affect patient care and work to retain the most qualified nurses at the bedside. Nurses need change in America and as president; I will begin working towards that change on day one."
