Nurses play a critical role in the healthcare system, and their firsthand experience provides valuable insights into patient care and healthcare delivery. Legislative advocacy allows nurses to: - Ensure that healthcare policies are aligned with the needs of patients and the realities of clinical practice. - Advocate for safe staffing levels, which are essential for patient safety and nurse well-being. - Fight for adequate funding for nursing education and workforce development. - Influence public health policies that address social determinants of health and health disparities.
