Abstract

The purpose of this study was to explore working experiences as a member of the House of Representative of professional nurses. The Heidegger’s hermeneutic phenomenology was applied for this study. Seven nurses, who were used to be members of the House of Representatives in Thailand at least one term in their political positions, willingly participated in this study. In-depth interviews with tape-recordings, observation, field notes and artifacts were used for data collection. Study data were analyzed by using a content analysis of van Manen’s method. The study findings fell into 6 themes: 1) being an honest politician, 2) applying holistic healthcare to help people, 3) being a committee on health 4) participating the making of Acts, 5) interrogating participation and 6) censuring a debate.
