Political Advocacy Presentation

Your nurse executive wants the staff nurses to gain a better understanding of the types of nursing associations and the political advocacy they support. Each nurse manager has been asked to select a professional nursing association and political advocacy they support to research. You will need to research political advocacy from a professional nursing association of your choice and share your findings in a presentation to your staff.


Instructions

Part One – Selection of Political Advocacy

Visit a professional nursing association website to:

· Locate the political advocacy statements.

· Review the political advocacy statements posted,

· Note the issues being discussed and whether they apply to all nurses or to a nursing specialty issue.

· Select one political advocacy statement for the presentation.


Part Two – Presentation on Political Advocacy

Prepare a presentation and make a recording of your presentation that:

· Identifies the professional nursing association and its constituents.

· Examines the key elements of the political advocacy selected.

· Summarizes concrete steps to advocate for this political advocacy as individual citizens and community partners.

· Illustrates how your peers can support this political advocacy as future nursing professionals.
