political involvement is essential for nurses to drive global health change.” Against

You're absolutely wrong about this, and frankly, it's a dangerous romanticization of what nursing should be. Nurses save lives at the bedside, not in the halls of Congress.Listen, here's what you're missing - 23% of nurses are considering leaving the profession [1], and that's not because they have too much time for political activism. It's because they're drowning in 12-hour shifts, mandatory overtime, and impossible patient loads. You want to know what drives global health change? A nurse who's actually present at the bedside, not burned out and walking away. When nurses abandon their posts for political theater, patients suffer directly. The real crisis isn't that nurses aren't political enough - it's that we're losing the ones we have to exhaustion and disillusionment. Your idealistic vision completely ignores reality. Nurses don't need to be in Congress; they need adequate staffing, manageable workloads, and support systems that keep them functioning. Political involvement is a luxury for people who aren't pulling double shifts and dealing with life-or-death decisions every day. The most impactful thing a nurse can do for global health is stay in nursing, master their craft, and be there when patients need them most.
