Session presented on Monday, September 19, 2016:
Nurses are the largest professional group within healthcare and have been voted the most trusted profession by the public for over 14 consecutive years (Tomajan, 2012). Capitalizing on this fact to influence as well as become a catalyst for change when opportunities present themselves would result in substantial advancement in the profession in addition to the populations they care for. The issue is nurses are indifferent about policy issues and are taught to focus on individual patient advocacy as opposed to population based advocacy despite being able to contribute significant information and wisdom on a variety of issues, initiatives, policies, etc. It has been suggested the reason some nurses are indifferent about policy issues may be due to a lack of knowledge and preparation to assume these roles as well as understanding their influence can produce results (O'Brien-Larivee, 2011).
