How misinformation spreads and why nurses are uniquely positioned to counter it
The difference between political involvement and partisan loyalty—and why nurses must understand the distinction
Why nurses belong in elected and appointed positions where decisions are truly made
How to elevate nursing identity beyond a task-based role to a profession of influence, expertise, and leadership
Justin’s vision for investing in the profession:
50% toward political and public-policy training for nurses and healthcare workers
50% toward professional development programs in schools of nursing to build identity, voice, and confidence early
Whether you're a bedside nurse, advanced practice provider, nursing student, faculty member, or healthcare advocate, this episode empowers you to see how your voice can shape policy, public trust, and the future of healthcare.
