In the areas of advocacy and influencing, nurses play a key role by making their voices heard and standing up for others. Thanks to their influencing skills, nurses can communicate effectively, collaborate with others, and exert a positive influence on healthcare decisions.
The competency in patient advocacy ensures that nurses always put the patient first. They protect patients’ rights, represent their needs, and provide support to ensure safe, respectful, and person-centered care.
Together, these competencies empower nurses to make a meaningful difference, both for individual patients and within the broader healthcare system.
