Abstract: The nursing profession was established in a spirit of individual policy entrepreneurship, yet this identity has been sparsely activated despite a recognized social contract with the public as a trusted advocate and a history of nurse policy entrepreneurs. The Nurse Policy Entrepreneur Café (NPEC) is an unaffiliated volunteer group that focuses on skill development, networking, innovative approaches to identifying barriers, and offering support and resources to empower interested nurses to create their personal and professional development strategy to become effective partners in health-care policy development, reform, and implementation. The NPEC was established in 2022, utilizing an online adaptation of The World Café Method to paint a picture of the Nurse Policy Entrepreneur identity, and has since expanded to include resources such as presentations, blogs, a newsletter, and support for global participant networking, supporting the needs of all nurses and nursing students worldwide.
