The strategies that I would use to better advocate for or communicate the existence of these opportunities are to encourage nurses to join professional organizations and educate fellow nurses on the current legislation regarding healthcare. Nurses that join professional organizations can help fund lobbyists that try to shape healthcare through a nursing voice. The professional organizations also offer opportunities for individual nurses to participate in policymaking. Many nurses do not want to be a part of a professional organization so it would help keep them informed of current legislation that affects them or the patients.
