#2: Nursing, Policy, and Politics: Understanding the Connection: Nurses’ Role in the Policy Process
Nursing’s involvement in policy and politics has resulted in state nurse practice acts that regulate nursing practice for patient safety and public protection. Nurses have a professional obligation to articulate how intellectually demanding and complex nursing care is and to demonstrate the ways in which they have developed and implemented innovative models of care that promote health reform, expanding access, improving quality and safety, and reducing costs.

For nurses to have the ability to advocate for others and effectively shape policy, one must have the necessary political skill. This requires the ability to understand another’s values and position and to use that understanding to influence others to act. What are the four essential components to mastering the necessary political skill?
