*I include some ideas in the questions that maybe you can use.*

1.  What are your plans for the future? 

I plan to continue professional nursing collaboration to influence policy changes that offer solutions for my community health problems. I want to apply what I had learned to get more involved in local and national organizations.   

2.  Will you heed the call for action and join an organization like Nurses on Boards or become engaged with the National Nurse Campaign?

3.  Will you join a professional nursing organization?

4.  Do you have other ideas that would work to benefit your community or an organization that is important to you?

 I'm currently working in a clinic specializing in an STDs prevention and treatment program. I plan to be more involved in the process of bringing direct attention to the most vulnerable population in my community.
