The Nursing Profession Influencing Health Care Decisions: Let’s choose two of our questions to answer in our discussions this week:
- Registered Practical Nurses have been “fighting” to be heard at the decision making tables for decades. Have they been successful? Do Practical Nurses have one voice? What other voices does nursing need to compete with?
- Nurses are one voice at the policy table. Often the Registered Nurses’ voice is seen as the voice of Registered Practical Nurses as well. When and how is it important to raise the voice of RPNs separate from the RN’s? How can RPNs be heard amongst the many voices.
