Assignment: Trends in Healthcare Policy
Length: 4 to 5 pages.
Describe the advocacy process. Whether nurses are advocating for their patients, health care, and/or policies that improve people's lives, the advocacy processes have commonalities that transcend the subject of their advocacy. There are also differences, although these differences may be more nuanced than obvious.

• Taking Action: Nurse, Educator, and Legislator: My Journey to the Delaware Senate
• Taking Action: A Nurse in the Board Room

3) Discuss the challenges that each of them identified in their writings.
4) Analyze these drivers and challenges and compare them with your own experience to date as an advocate. In what ways do you believe that you can expand your advocacy skills within the next five years?
