I’m working on a nursing discussion question and need an explanation to help me learn.

Complete your Week 2 required discussion prompt.

Nurses can be an integral part of designing public policy as political leaders. As a registered nurse, you have a professional commitment to improve health care.  However, many nurses are not politically active and do not lobby for important aspects of their profession.

  • What are the reasons many nurses do not actively engage in lobbying efforts?
  • What actions can nurses take to encourage themselves and their peers to get involved politically and lobby for specific issues such as healthcare policy changes? Provide a detailed example.
