Nurses advancing evidence-based practices, developing better care protocols, and training the next generation - that's how you save lives worldwide. Politics just turns healers into activists, and we have enough of those already. When nurses abandon bedside excellence for boardroom politics, patients suffer. That's not progress - that's abandoning your calling.You're living in a fantasy if you think nurses should be playing politics instead of focusing on what they do best - actual patient care.
