This introductory course equips nurses with foundational advocacy skills to influence health policy, improve patient outcomes, and advance the nursing profession. Participants will learn key principles of advocacy, effective communication strategies, and practical steps to engage with legislators, professional organizations, and community stakeholders. Designed for nurses new to advocacy, this training emphasizes real-world applications and empowers participants to become confident voices for change.

Advocacy 201 - Applied Advocacy

Through interactive case studies—such as the evaluation of relief nursing mandates—nurses will practice advanced communication and leadership techniques to drive systemic change. The course concludes with reflective planning to help participants define their next steps as effective nursing advocates.
