Foreword
This second edition of Nurses Making Policy: From Bedside to Boardroom, edited by
Rebecca M. Patton, Margarete L. Zalon, and Ruth Ludwick, soars even higher than
the inaugural edition in its inclusion of key understandings of health policy. The edi-
tors and chapter authors are experts in health policy on both the national and global
level, and their insights are instructive to nurses beginning their careers, as well as to
those who aspire to the highest levels of policy analysis, development, and implementa-
tion. Readers are challenged to examine their own biases about policy and politics and
encouraged not to leave the policy work to others who may be less well informed. In
fact, the primary purpose of the book is to inform all nurses so that they can be knowl-
edgeable advocates for other members of society, including those who are marginalized
or those who choose not to engage in the policy process.
From the first chapter, written by the book editors, the learner is challenged to be
engaged at the local, state, and national level. The authors assert that policy work is
the role of every nurse and provide a comprehensive argument for why nurses should
engage in policy. In this initial chapter, a policy challenge is presented, detailing the
case study of Dr. Karen Daley’s journey from clinician to policy advocate after she suf-
fered a sharps injury. She became a champion for provider safety to avoid needlestick
injuries and successfully advocated for legislative changes related to provider safety at
the local, state, and national level. This brief case study is only one of many examples
presented in the chapter and throughout the book that serve as key learning modalities
for students at all levels.
Also in Chapter 1, the authors present a detailed history of the beginnings of the
American Nurses Association (ANA) and its current programs and activities to safe-
guard professional nursing practice and thus empower nurses to better serve patients
and the public. In addition, there are key lessons included about other specialty organi-
zations and their impact on health policy.
Yet the first chapter is truly only the beginning of a wide array of important content.
The editors have gathered the experts in nursing policy development and implementa-
tion as chapter authors—the best of the best in nursing. Chapter authors provide key
insights to move the nursing profession forward and position nurses in leadership roles
in the health policy arena, locally, nationally, and globally. Important for both instruc-
tors and students, each chapter includes objectives, key learning activities, electronic
resources, and references to guide future study. Also included throughout the book are
key examples of health policy challenges that bring both policy and politics alive for
the reader. This book serves as an important resource for all of us who aspire to become
more involved, make more changes, and thus create a better world and improve the
health of all citizens.
