Problem
Nurses are accustomed to advocating for individual clients yet we may not realize the impact we can have at a population level. Health care professionals should know who our elected officials are and seize opportunities to advocate for policy change, given our evidence-based knowledge and practice. Think about a public health concern that you want to address at your practicum site, your place of employment, or in your community. What would you change? Why? Who in your community would you contact (name and title)?
