Building Nurse Advocates Project
Facilitating media outreach.
Conquering fears about media outreach.
Help nurses understand and counteract the stereotypes they have been raised on. Some nurses haven't shaken them. See this Desmond Tutu clip.
Encourage nursing schools to incorporate public speaking into their curricula.
Encourage nursing schools to teach students how to argue, advocate or persuade — verbally or in writing.
Do outreach to the few nurse advisors that are in Hollywood and encourage them to defend nursing.
Host writing classes
Encourage media training such as that provided at George Washington University
Encourage nurses to educate those who need to learn about nursing such as with the nurse shadowing program, like the one pioneered at Dartmouth and another fashioned after it in Wisconsin, help increase understanding among those who will have a great influence on public understanding of nursing and the nursing practice environment.
Educate the world that nurses save lives!
