Abstract

The American Association of Colleges of Nursing 2nd Annual Student Policy Summit took place on March 20-22 at the Fairmont Hotel in Washington DC. This 3-day program highlighted the importance of nurses involvement in policy processes. It was an opportunity to collaborate with nursing peers, national nursing leaders, and Congressional staff to learn about health care policy and advocacy. The Summit included keynote speakers from the Department of Health and Human Resources, the American Association of Colleges of Nursing, and the American Nurses Association. We learned about topics including: civic responsibilities, Capitol Hill staff responsibilities, nursing research in health policy, and national nursing roles. My presentation will include a brief overview of the Summit, its objectives, and what I have learned about nursing's role in policy advocacy.
