Nursing Advocacy: Shaping Policy and Politics through Legislative Action
As a nurse, how often have you thought to yourself, If I had anything to do about it, things would work a little differently? Increasingly, nurses are beginning to realize that they do, in fact, have a role and a voice.
Many nurses encounter daily experiences that motivate them to take on an advocacy role in hopes of impacting policies, laws, or regulations that impact healthcare issues of interest. Of course, doing so means entering the less familiar world of policy and politics. While many nurses do not initially feel prepared to operate in this space effectively, the reward is the opportunity to shape and influence future health policy.
To Prepare:
Select a bill that has been proposed (not one that has been enacted) using the congressional websites provided in the Learning Resources.
The Assignment: (1- to 2-page Legislation Grid; 1-page Legislation Testimony/Advocacy Statement)
***Be sure to add a title page, an introduction, purpose statement, and a conclusion. This is an APA paper.
Part 1: Legislation Grid
Based on the health-related bill (proposed, not enacted) you selected, complete the Legislation Grid Template. Be sure to address the following:
Determine the legislative intent of the bill you have reviewed.
Identify the proponents/opponents of the bill.
Identify the target populations addressed by the bill.
Where in the process is the bill currently? Is it in hearings or committees?
Part 2: Legislation Testimony/Advocacy Statement
Based on the health-related bill you selected, develop a 1-page Legislation Testimony/Advocacy Statement that addresses the following:
Advocate a position for the bill you selected and write testimony in support of your position.
Explain how the social determinants of income, age, education, or gender affect this legislation.
Describe how you would address the opponent to your position. Be specific and provide examples.
At least 2 outside resources and 2-3 course specific resources are used.

“Mastering Synthesis: A Guide to Effective Literature Reviews”
As per instructons received… This must be a synthesis vs. an Annotated bibliography.
Literature review In scholarly work and in creating a
literature review:
a
summary tells us ‘so what was this about’..a synopsis.
Here is another way of thinking about/working with
synthesis: Most students are able to
tell us the difference between a summary (annotation/book report style) vs a
synthesis.. However when the sit down to work on their SYNTHESIS
assignment, they do not provide a synthesis. Synthesis was explained earlier
however I’ll explain in perhaps another way below that might be helpful:
Imagine you are hosting a party at your house (wearing
a mask of course ;-)) with some famous scholars..they are coming to discuss
some research on your area of study. You are in the kitchen making coffee,
slicing up the coffee cake and listening..you are hearing the back
and forth discussion of these scholars talking about the pros/cons of
the research, what the real problem is and how these research studies fit that
problem..you’re taking note the entire time while waiting to serve the coffee
and cake. You finally listen to the group, chime in a bit with your findings
and then after they leave, you will write a summary on what was noted by these
scholars..the problem noted in those works, the pros/cons found in that
research relevant to the problem, where the topic is now, where its heading and
general thoughts on this..you will take this info as a whole to tell your
understanding of this living room conversation on this topic. You will not say
‘Grant said (2021), Smith then said (2021)..INSTEAD, you will give a general
explanation of the topic, with the info I noted above..you will of course site
them as it was THEIR idea initially but we want your overall, holistic
view of this conversation..THAT is synthesis..does that make sense?
