Ming is a new nurse graduate who works in the clinic of a large urban teaching hospital. Lucy is Ming's nurse manager at the clinic.

I think it would be a great opportunity for you to use your leadership skills and learn more about the politics of the nursing profession." Ming accepts the appointment and agrees to be present for every monthly meeting. Ming also promises to represent the clinic's nurses in a professional and ethical manner.
Answer the following questions:
a. What are the benefits of having Ming serve on the clinical board?
