Despite the importance of lobbying, nurses face several challenges:
Time Constraints: Nurses often work long hours and may find it difficult to participate in advocacy activities. Lack of Knowledge: Some nurses may feel unprepared to engage in lobbying due to a lack of understanding of the legislative process. Financial Barriers: Attending advocacy events or joining professional organizations can be costly. Political Climate: The current political environment can be challenging, with healthcare policies often being a contentious issue.
