Insight 11: Why Nurses Belong in Elected Offices


Listen Later

While some nurses already serve in elected office, their numbers are far too few, and our communities are missing out. In this SEE YOU NOW Insight from Episode 95: Nursing Is Political, Kimberly Gordon, DNP, CRNA, co-founder of Healing Politics, makes a powerful case for why more nurses should run for public office. Drawing on their holistic training, problem-solving skills, and deep understanding of the social factors that shape health, nurses are uniquely equipped to serve on school boards, city councils, and in state legislatures. Kimberly shares how nurse voices in policy-making could transform decisions on issues like school safety, public health, and community well-being, and why public service should be part of nursing's culture of care.
