Assignment: Legislation Grid and Testimony/Advocacy Statement

As a nurse, how often have you thought to yourself, if I had anything to do about it, things would work a little differently? Increasingly, nurses are beginning to realize that they do, in fact, have a role and a voice.

Many nurses encounter daily experiences that motivate them to take on an advocacy role in hopes of impacting policies, laws, or regulations that impact healthcare issues of interest. Of course, doing so means entering the less familiar world of policy and politics. While many nurses do not initially feel prepared to operate in this space effectively, the reward is the opportunity to shape and influence future health policy.

To Prepare:

1. Select a bill that has been proposed (not one that has been enacted) using the congressional websites provided in the Learning Resources.

Task: (1 to 2 pages Legislation Grid; 1-page Legislation Testimony/Advocacy Statement)

Based on the health-related bill (proposed, not enacted) you selected, complete the Legislation Grid Template. Be sure to address the following:

1. Determine the legislative intent of the bill you have reviewed.

2. Identify the proponents/opponents of the bill.

3. Identify the target populations addressed by the bill.

4. Where in the process is the bill currently? Is it in hearings or committees?

Part II: Legislation Testimony/Advocacy Statement

Based on the health-related bill you selected, develop a 1-page Legislation Testimony/Advocacy Statement that addresses the following:

1. Advocate a position for the bill you selected and write testimony in support of your position.

2. Explain how the social determinants of income, age, education, or gender affect this legislation.

3. Describe how you would address the opponent to your position. Be specific and provide examples.
