Nurses are ideal change agents, activists, and advocates for social change.
Student Visual Maps
Nurses are expected to "be aware of broader health concerns such as environmental pollution, violation of human rights, world hunger, homelessness, violence, etc. and are encouraged to the extent possible in their personal circumstances to work individually as citizens or collectively for policies and procedures to bring about social change, keeping in mind the needs of future generations" (CNA, 2002, Code of Ethics for Registered Nurses, p.15).
