Why Nurses’ Voices are Critical to Shaping Health Policy

“Nurses are born advocates,” alumnus and nurse Jason Bloomer said. “It’s one of the most fundamental things that makes a nurse a nurse, beyond keeping our patients safe.” In the third episode of Illuminating Health, professor Stella Bialous and Bloomer share their experience shaping health policy and discuss why nurses are uniquely positioned to lead change. The guest host for this episode is Erin Ear, a student in the school’s Family Nurse Practitioner specialty.
