The purpose of this assignment is to increase awareness of the organizations that exist as a voice for the nursing profession. Nursing makes up the largest sector of the healthcare workforce, yet we are the most underrepresented profession at the table when policy and other decisions are made. The goal is to inspire you to get involved.
