down there with an advocate who has her license in social work. That was an amazing opportunity because I learned a lot from being able to talk to her about social work. I found it interesting that when discussing what we learned during college, that there was overlap despite going to different colleges.

Based on my experiences on roles of Advance Practical Registered Nurse (APRN) and advocate within health policy and political arenas I have developed several beliefs, attitudes, and perspectives of advocacy in nursing. One of the beliefs is that advocate nurses have the mandate to initiate policy proposals in the health care system. I believe nurses are in better position to initiate policy proposals…

When walking into a special education classroom, it is extremely rare to see only one adult. Traditionally, when individuals think about the classroom setting, they think of the desks, the books, the students, and the teacher. Not many picture a classroom as having multiple adults in the room. These individuals are coming in and out throughout the day each at a different pace and frequency.
