Advocacy In The Nursing Profession
Advocacy
As most of us have heard through our nursing career, nurses play many roles in their profession including being an advocate and a leader. As Dye (2010) mentioned, “leaders are advocates for personal and professional needs” (p. 85).
Advocacy Needs Tomajan (2012) described advocate as a person who tries to protect others’ interest and needs (p. 2). Therefore, wherever there is a need, there can be advocacy as well. Nurses can be advocate for their patients, co-workers, the nursing profession, or even themselves. Tomajan (2012) also mentioned the role of advocacy comes to play whenever there is a problem that needs to be solved (p. 2). Goodman (2014) believes that advocating for nursing profession can lead to advocacy for patients
