How To Get Into Politics as A Nurse (with Kimberly Gordon of Healing Politics)
Are you tired of nursing practice and policy being dictated by non-nurses? And I mean, without nursing input or not enough input from nurses? How can we, as nurses, make our voices heard and become drivers on important issues that impact us and the work we do? While rallying together and voting is important, the truth is we also need nurses to run for office and be strategically placed in leadership positions and in politics to drive the agenda and propositions. But I didn’t get that type of training in nursing school, so how do you prepare for that?
In this episode, Nurse Alice speaks with Kimberly Gordon, co-founder of Healing Politics, an educational, non-partisan, non-profit 501(c)3 organization. They are on a mission to inspire, motivate, recruit, & train nurses & midwives to run for elected office up & down the ballot while building a culture of civic engagement within the professions.
