Nurses are underrepresented in health policy. The Jonas Policy Scholars Program is a vital and effective program that promotes mentoring, health policy, and engagement among early nurse researchers. The Jonas Policy Scholars Program should continue and be replicated by other organizations. Nurses must serve as health policy leaders within and beyond the field of nursing. Health policy content and immersion should be integrated throughout nursing education.
