Nurse Activism

Societal change and successful activism is often the result of careful planning and skilled management. Theory developed on this kind of change is often categorized as planned or managed change theory. Nurses can become visible and efficient agents for planned/managed change and avid activists, both in healthcare and society at large.

The Center for Nursing Advocacy

The Center seeks to increase public understanding of the central, front-line role nurses play in modern health care. The focus of the Center is to promote more accurate, balanced and frequent media portrayals of nurses and increase the media's use of nurses as expert sources. The Center's ultimate goal is to foster growth in the size and diversity of the nursing profession at a time of critical shortage, strengthen nursing practice, teaching and research, and improve the health care system.
