 IT IS A REPLY TO THE BELOW STATEMENT-ONE PAGE ONE REFERENCE:

Nurses have been considered to have lower engagement in policy making. However, there are some opportunities that if the RNs and APRNs consider, they may improve their activeness in policy making processes within the healthcare organizations. One of these opportunities include the existence of professional nursing organizations. As conferred by Milstead & Short (2019), professional organizations such as American Nursing Association can help the RNs and APRNs to help them understand how they can actively engage in various policy making. Such organizations help nurses to determine whether a given policy being implemented is effective and efficient in addressing some of the major challenges that may be affecting a given population or the nurses themselves. Another opportunity available to the nurses is their roles and responsibilities within the workplace. Considering the major role of RNs and APRNs, which is promotion of quality healthcare, nurses can utilize this opportunity to ensure that they engage in policy making processes as supported by Milstead & Short (2019).
