This article is an eye witness account of nursing's participation in the health care reform debate from 1991 to 1994. In that debate, the nursing profession achieved high visibility and recognition for the cogency of its policy positions as developed in Nursing's Agenda for Health Care Reform and for its united voice through the leadership of the American Nurses Association, the Tricouncil for Nursing, and the Nursing Organization Liaison Forum. While comprehensive health care reform failed to pass the 103rd Congress, nursing and nurses gained much in the process of their participation.
本文是一篇目击者对1991年至1994年护理行业参与医疗改革辩论的记述。在那场辩论中，护理行业因其在《护理医疗改革议程》中所阐述的政策立场的说服力，以及通过美国护士协会、护理三理事会和护理组织联络论坛的领导所发出的统一声音，而备受关注并得到认可。尽管全面医疗改革未能在第103届国会获得通过，但护理行业及其从业者在参与过程中收获颇丰。
