Kelly 2007, posited that nurses must become political activists to safeguard the profession from unhealthy policies, which can be channeled through politics and changes in public policy.
Kelly, 2007
As the largest group of healthcare providers, nurses are in a unique and powerful position to serve as advocates for patients, communities, and the nursing profession, by leveraging their numbers [and experience] to exert influence on healthcare policies.
Health reform has become largely polarized along political and partisan lines.
Hence, the need for nurses to influence such reforms. They must be politically involved, politically skillful, and politically informed [and mentored right].
The first FYNI webinar for the year has been dedicated to discussions surrounding the importance of Nurses In Politics.
