WK 8 DIS HEALTH 2

Elected Office

What is the potential impact of nurses holding elected office? How might healthcare policy advocacy change if nurses are seated at the table? 

For this Discussion, you will consider what it takes to run for an elected office, as well as explore what is at stake for nurses to run for these positions. You will identify nurses elected to public office, and you will consider the impact of these positions. How might learning about policy and advocacy pave the wave for a future as an elected official?
