Leading Change: Health Policy Advocacy as an Ethical Responsibility for Nurses
Date: July 1
Time: 8 PM

Nurses are uniquely positioned to influence health policy at the local, state, and national levels. Grounded in the American Nurses Association Code of Ethics, this webinar frames health policy advocacy not as an optional activity, but as an ethical responsibility integral to professional nursing practice.

Participants will examine how ethical principles and the American Nurses Association Code of Ethics extend beyond the bedside to inform nurses’ advocacy related to laws, regulations, and organizational policies that shape patient and population health. The session highlights nurses’ ethical responsibility to address health inequities and advance evidence-informed policy.

This webinar is designed for nurses across practice settings who seek to deepen their understanding of ethical obligations in health policy advocacy and to identify practical, values-based strategies for engaging in policy-related efforts aligned with professional standards and ethical commitments.

Presented by:  NAHN Policy and Advocacy Committee
Speaker:  Dr. Cristian Mendoza Ruvalcaba, DNP, APRN, FNP-C, CPNP-PC, CNE
