1. Nurses play a pivotal role in reforming healthcare to promote public health and reduce costs. This is particularly evident in their involvement in COVID vaccination mandates, telemedicine, and prescription drug pricing advocacy. Nurses have been at the forefront of COVID-19 vaccination efforts, advocating for widespread vaccination to curb the pandemic. They educate the public about vaccine safety and efficacy, address vaccine hesitancy, and administer vaccines. Nurses’ expertise in public health and patient education makes them influential advocates for vaccination mandates, promoting a healthier public. For instance, in my nursing practice, I have seen nurses conducting community outreach programs to ensure equitable access to vaccines. Nurses actively champion telemedicine as a means to improve healthcare access and reduce costs. They use telehealth platforms to provide remote care, monitor patients’ conditions, and educate them on self-management. Telemedicine not only enhances patient convenience but also decreases unnecessary emergency room visits, contributing to cost reduction. In my experience, I have witnessed nurses facilitating virtual visits for patients in rural areas, improving their access to healthcare services.  Nurses witness firsthand the impact of high prescription drug prices on patients’ health outcomes. They advocate for fair drug pricing policies that ensure affordable access to necessary medications. By engaging in initiatives like the Nurses Who Vaccinate campaign, nurses bring attention to the importance of reasonable drug pricing in promoting public health and reducing the financial burden on patients. Nurse have the clinical knowledge, patient trust, and advocacy skills necessary to drive healthcare reform. Their involvement in COVID vaccination mandates, telemedicine, and prescription drug pricing advocacy aligns with their commitment to improving patient care, public health, and cost-effectiveness in the healthcare system.  

2. Nurses indeed hold a pivotal role in reforming healthcare, contributing to a healthier public and cost reduction. Firstly, in the context of COVID vaccination mandates, nurses play an essential role as advocates for public health. They educate individuals on the importance of vaccination, dispel myths and misinformation, and administer vaccines efficiently. Their presence in vaccination clinics fosters trust and encourages reluctant individuals to receive the vaccine. Furthermore, nurses can also assess and address vaccine-related adverse events, contributing to the safety and effectiveness of vaccination campaigns.

Secondly, in the realm of telemedicine, nurses are instrumental in ensuring its successful implementation. They can serve as telehealth coordinators, facilitating remote patient consultations and monitoring. This reduces the burden on healthcare facilities, enhances access to care in underserved areas, and can potentially lower healthcare costs by preventing hospital readmissions through continuous monitoring of chronic conditions.

Lastly, nurses are advocates for addressing exorbitant prescription drug pricing. They witness firsthand the financial hardships patients face due to high drug costs and can engage in initiatives to promote transparency, cost-effective alternatives, and policy changes to curb pharmaceutical price gouging.

In my own nursing practice, I’ve seen how nurses can be effective advocates in these areas, collaborating with healthcare teams and policymakers to drive positive change. Their expertise and patient-centered approach uniquely position them to champion healthcare reform initiatives that benefit the public while optimizing healthcare costs.

Discussion(M3)

Watch one of these films and  then discuss anyone of these “dying and death” representations as  presented in movies or plays such as:

• Bringing Out the Dead
