@AudraRankin We can promote other nurses getting involved by providing resources for how to get involved! Being vocal about personal involvement with organizations can increase the likelihood of someone else getting involved. #nursepolicy

@AudraRankin This is an example of an association bringing attention to a huge problem! #nursepolicy

@AudraRankin @UNCSON @RamathibodiN q5: The Advocacy Coalition Framework is helpful in policy work. The more people that are passionate about a policy the more likely the politicians and stakeholders will listen! #nursepolicy

@AudraRankin We can engage in health policy by joining organizations through the state/federal level. Having info available at workplaces for furthering education (such as why being involved in policy is important) & potential policy changes that affect nurses (such as staffing). #nursepolicy

@JoollyMonticha @AudraRankin Health literacy is definitely a problem. The general public may see information on social media and assume that it is correct. A social media post can even sway people to not receive vaccinations, etc

@lisaolear @AudraRankin I agree and see this a lot in clinical! People knowing they need specific care but often do not seek it because of the potential cost.

@AudraRankin q3: Costs of medications for things that are required for patients (insulin, etc) is a problem. Also, there are always things on the news, social media, etc that sway the general public even though it may not be accurate. #nursepolicy

@UNCG_b_pickard @AudraRankin @UNCSON @RamathibodiN I agree, Brandi! Safe staffing ratios can also improve nurse burnout.

@AudraRankin @UNCSON @RamathibodiN q2: Policies that are important to me revolve around improving care for pediatrics. For example, policies regarding preventative care and mental health. Policies that could be improved include having better care for children that need mental health services. #nursepolicy

@AudraRankin @UNCSON @RamathibodiN Health policy deals with decisions and that direct how healthcare care is being delivered. Health policies can be formed and revised by healthcare professionals. Economics, political power and general popularity on the topic can influence a health policy. #nursepolicy
