This week our focus is developing advocacy skills and political competencies.  The Warner article in your Week 5 readings provides six areas where nurses must develop political competency and you will consider and write about these for the Week 5 Assignment. 

For this discussion, share your plans for just one of the six areas.  Just like in the assignment, make sure you include two very personal and specific action steps you plan to will take to become more competent in that area.  You may include any pertinent webinars, workshops, joining professional organizations, or practical experience in your development plan.
