Access to healthcare: removing barriers for the APRN
1Eastern Kentucky University, Richmond, Kentucky, USA.
Abstract:
As nurses face changes in the healthcare arena, we must be aware and involved in the legislation that affects our delivery of care to our clients. While many do not perceive their ability to influence legislative matters, there are things we can do. Such endeavors can include inviting legislators to APRN's practice, encouraging clients to talk with their legislators, and share evidence-based information on the outcomes of APRN practice. Nursing is a strong profession and has faced many challenges in the past. Nursing now needs to advocate for our profession and thus provide a positive impact on the healthcare of the clients.
