The NAS, AACN Essentials, and Representative Lauren Underwood agree nurses need to take a more active role in health policy. Health policy education is predominately found in graduate programs despite the reality that only 20% of nurses hold a graduate degree. The remaining 80% look to their pre-licensure educators to prepare them to fill the role of policy maker. This presentation describes the current Political Astuteness and Teacher Political Self-efficacy of nurse educators and provides steps to improve their knowledge and skill so they will be better equipped to empower their students to impact the health care system.

Reflect on the expectations of the AACN and NAS regarding health policy education of nursing students.
Describe the current political astuteness and political self-efficacy of pre-licensure nurse educators
Develop a plan for the nurse educator to become more politically astute and increase political self-efficacy.
