At this crucial stage in nursing's development, key organizations around the world are voicing the need for nurses to become more involved in leadership, advocacy and policymaking. The importance of leadership and health policy training cannot be overemphasized. However, the widespread education and training of nurses about policy is yet to be realized. Moving nurses from being the recipients and implementers of health policy decisions to being leaders with a strong voice in the development or reform of policy will take concerted, strategic effort into the future. We argue that for nurses around the world to take their place at decision-making tables and to be rightfully engaged in policy, health reform and advocacy, nurse leaders need to provide them with access to well-thought-out policy training programmes. This access needs to be wide-ranging, from exposure to policy knowledge in undergraduate education to more specialized graduate programs focused in every specialization on some aspects of policy, through to a variety of continuing educational opportunities.
在护理发展的这个关键阶段，世界各地的主要组织都表示，需要护士更多地参与领导、宣传和决策制定。领导力和卫生政策培训的重要性再怎么强调也不为过。然而，对护士进行政策方面的广泛教育和培训尚未实现。要使护士从卫生政策决策的接受者和执行者转变为在政策制定或改革中有强大话语权的领导者，未来还需要协调一致的、战略性的努力。我们认为，为了让世界各地的护士能够在决策桌上占有一席之地，并在政策、卫生改革和宣传方面进行合理的参与，护士领导者需要为他们提供获得精心设计的政策培训计划的机会。这种途径应该是多种多样的，从本科教育中接触政策知识，到更专门的研究生课程，每一个专业都要关注政策的某些方面，再到各种继续教育机会。
