" I’ve Been There Too... As a nurse, I always wanted to make a difference, not just for my patients, but for the entire healthcare system. But I felt completely overwhelmed by the idea of getting involved in policy. I didn’t know where to start or who to talk to. I even tried reaching out to lawmakers, but my voice felt drowned out by the bureaucracy. But over time, I learned the tools and strategies that helped me navigate the legislative process—and I realized that with the right knowledge and skills, nurses can make a massive impact. Now, I’m passionate about sharing that knowledge with you, so you can start shaping the future of healthcare policy.."
