Nursing Advocacy

The primary aim and objective of this article is to discuss ways to increase involvement of nurses in advocacy. Nurses advocate for their patients numerous times each day. The pandemic has highlighted the need for nurses to be at the table to address access to care issues, social determinants of health, along with assisting to find solutions for the nursing staffing shortage. Nurses need to be educated on advocacy and that not all advocacy is at the federal level. We interview a nursing leader about her experience on the local level and how it has changed her view on advocacy.
