Course Overview
Author: Charmaine Robinson, MSN-Ed, BSN, RN
Health policy is often associated with nursing strikes and lobbying. However, health policy can occur at the bedside when advocating for patients, in the workplace when making changes that improve the quality of care for patients within the organization, and at the national and global levels when advocating for the health and wellness of the population. Designed for the LPN/LVN, RN, and APRN, this course will explore the policy-making process, lobbying nursing organizations, ethical influence, and the nurse’s professional and ethical responsibility in health policy and advocacy.
