As the largest health profession in the country, nurses play a significant role in improving the nation’s health care system.
They have unique insights into patient care and key perspectives on the connections between patients, the health care system, and the local, state, and national policies that affect them. Nurses also enjoy the trust of the public and of the nation’s opinion leaders, who want nurses to have more influence than they do now on health policy, planning, and management.
