WEEK 1NR-506 DB

The workplace is where nurses can influence change via internal policies such as staffing ratios or be affected by external policies like state licensing laws. Government action and policy is prevalent in most every aspect of life (Mason et al., 2016). Governments fund most health care providers and health facilities by way of national health insurance programs like Medicare and Medicaid. Professional organizations are integral in influencing practice as they serve to unite like-minded individuals with common goals. They provide framework, increase effectiveness, networking and share resources to influence policy (Mason et al., 2016).
