What is Advocacy: From the Patient to the Profession about?
It is well known that nursing comprises the largest segment of the health care industry at local, state, national, and even international levels. The United States has over 4 million registered nurses, and nursing has been voted the most trusted profession for the past 19 years. With such a vast representation within the health care industry, the nursing profession is well positioned to advocate for legislation that promotes safe and healthy work environments, as well as quality care delivery. Although we have many nurses that have provided insight and thoughtful leadership, we have a long way to go to ensure our voice is heard to create and support policy that is recognized at the same level as our national representation. Successful advocacy and the passage of legislation that promotes professional nursing and safe patient care is a multipronged approach. Establishing and fostering relationships in the political arena require a strong political action committee (PACs), coalitions, and active participation in advocacy efforts.
