Description

Considering the rapid changes in the healthcare industry today, it is imperative for nurses to become more politically active. There are currently an estimated three million or more nurses; with them lies a crucial presence in the healthcare system (Gardner, 2006). Nurses can influence decisions that promote the health and well-being of their patients, as well as the workings of the profession itself. Despite being part of the nation's largest group of healthcare professionals, however, nurses tend not to realize their influential capability and political lobbying clout.
