What Role Do Professional Nursing Organizations Play in Elections?
Professional nursing organizations play a vital role in the electoral process by endorsing candidates, lobbying for healthcare reforms, and educating nurses about the importance of political engagement. Organizations such as the American Nurses Association (ANA) provide resources and support for nurses to become more politically active. They also conduct surveys and publish voter guides that highlight candidates' positions on issues important to the nursing community. By uniting the voices of nurses, these organizations can exert substantial influence on policy decisions.
