Nurses as professionals and as individual consumers are affected by health policy and bear a responsibility for participating in the health policy arena. Nursing's growing recognition of the importance of public policy issues is increasingly being translated into action by various groups within the profession. Persuading student nurses of the importance of health policy provides a special challenge to faculty. A clinical practicum was designed that requires senior baccalaureate students in various community settings to identify, analyze, and challenge health policy issues. The course design, integration into the curriculum, and evaluation can be models for faculty considering the challenge of stimulating student interest in health policy issues.
护士作为专业人士和个体消费者，受到卫生政策的影响，并肩负着参与卫生政策领域的责任。护理行业对公共政策问题重要性的认识不断提高，这正日益被该行业内的各个团体转化为行动。说服护理专业学生认识到卫生政策的重要性，对教师来说是一项特殊的挑战。为此设计了一个临床实习项目，要求不同社区环境中的护理学本科高年级学生识别、分析并质疑卫生政策问题。该课程的设计、融入课程体系以及评估，可以为那些考虑激发学生对卫生政策问题兴趣这一挑战的教师提供范例。
