Your discussion this week had information that I agree with and discussed in my post as well. One common opportunity that I have seen in the class discussion is the participation of nurses in nursing organizations. Registered nurses and advanced practice registered nurses have many organizations to choose from that fit their individual preferences. According to Crumley, professional organizations provide a variety of networking opportunities and educational resources. They advocate to advance nursing practice and to improve the health of populations, communities, and individuals (2020). Nurses are sometimes overlooked when it comes to their input in policymaking. According to the Australian Nursing Journal, the International Council of Nurses aimed for nurses from around the world who are active in politics to connect, share expertise, and strengthen nursing contribution to policy (2007). Nurses have a greater ability than what is shown to add to policymaking across the world The Role of the RN/APRN in Policy-Making.
