Political Advocacy Efforts
ARNPs must always stay aware of current legislation that affects healthcare and those who both receive and provide it. When there is a need for support or opposition of proposed legislation, the ARNP leads efforts to advocate for what is morally right for the patient and the provider. Becoming associated with professional nursing organizations assists the ARNP through collaboration in making positive political relationships with local leaders. I plan to join a professional nursing association to fulfill my responsibilities as an ARNP and attempt to make a difference in my community.
