Compassionate leadership is not optional https://t.co/my6nCVHjwZ ! Healthcare is a complex business yet it requires compassion and transformational leadership. Twitter is a forum to bring issues to the forefront of public awareness. #N660rn @kathymb4 M8
Transforming healthcare through actively engaging in politics-Lauren Underwood is a RN and now congresswoman for Illinois. Having a RN in Congress will bring patient and RN issues to the table! #N660rn mod 6 @kathymb4
Congratulations to the newest nurse in Congress, @LUnderwood630! Our PAC was proud to endorse Lauren's campaign and we look forward to working with her on the issues that matter most to nurses and their patients. Way to go, Lauren!
20% of new RNs leave their job in the 1st year after all that HARD WORK. Along with creating residency programs as nurse leaders we can create nurse resiliency programs to improve outcomes and retain nurses. #supportnewRNs#N660rn M5
#Didyouknow that 20% of new nurses leave their job within a year? To help new nurses deal with stress & keep them in the workforce, hospitals have developed nurse residency programs that focus on well-being. Do you think these programs will reduce burnout? https://t.co/8bEYTCFk5s
Did you know that as healthcare providers we actually study the best ways to support you as a patient to improve your whole health. One of those models is the social model that looks at societal influences to health and how to best support it. We care! #N660rn @kathymb4

This breaks my heart. No one should die from not having insulin. This is a problem that care coordination could help to mediate. #N660RN M3 #Insulin4all
Coordinating care happens outside the hospital too. Our government is working on passing a bill to support coordination of care for the current opioid crisis. This will help providers decrease overprescribing opioids that unfortunately is linked with addiction. #N660RN M3
ICYMI: a bipartisan agreement between the House & Senate last night on legislation to combat the #OpioidCrisis. Next step: final legislation moves though congress and goes to the president’s desk. Statement 👇 https://t.co/xIFLtHi9n9
Care coordination improves patient outcomes and patient satisfaction. Make sure your health care provider supports patient centered care with coordination to support your individual needs. #N660RN https://t.co/QgDmBce75y via @SmartBrief
