@ErinBoydNP_S @Everytown @NRA Gun violence in today's world is still so prevalent in existence. The 69 hate crimes per day involving a gun contribute to the large majority of gun related mortalities. It is a public health crisis that needs action now! @NRA #nurs638

@svramiirez @LGBTEqCaucus @texasgov This section of the ACA includes civil rights laws and presents them to health programs funded by the federal government to protect against discrimination for the LGBTQ+ community. This needs to continue as tailored health care for these individuals continues to grow #nurs638

What shows that safe ratios are "bad for business", as
@MABizRoundtable has supported the AIM in opposing mandated ratios in MA. @HealthyNurseUSA supports safety and protects against staff burnout. We have to help policy makers see past health costs and dollar signs #nurs638

The opioid epidemic is still impacting those with addiction. Unfortunately, programs of punishment and treatment may not succeed. Getting Wrecked by Dr. Sue makes opioid addiction extremely real from the eyes of women in incarceration, and the extra hurdles they face. #nurs638

Nurses play an essential role in advocation for policy change! Although change does not occur overnight, our voices can be heard, especially via social media, to influence parties of power and create positivity of knowledge and movement! @Nurs621 #nurs638

As a Health care professional, I believe the cost of prescription drugs is extremely high. 9 out of 10 older adults takes prescription medications. Your support in this act gives hope to lower health care expenditure of millions of Americans.

@AAN_Nursing Legislators and government officials have the authority to enforce and make changes to policies for safe patient: nurse ratios. It decreases mortality rates of patients and increasing nursing retention. This should take priority in healthcare. #NURS638

Lack of medical care in rural communities negatively impacts many Americans. The growing NP workforce is one solution to this problem, but will require buy in from stakeholders including NP programs, legislators and health administrators @ahahospitals @ANANursingWorld #nurs638

NNU's survey from 2021 to 2022 showed a 20.2% increase in unsafe staffing. With moral distress, high turnover rates, and workplace violence on the rise, how can we push bill S.1567 through faster to protect nurses and decrease patient mortality? @RNAction @SenatorSherrod #nurs638

@GovernorVA How can we change the negative stigma around those suffering from addiction into an opportunity for healthcare to be efficacious in providing mental health resources? EDs and ICUs need to have access to these so we can start to be proactive rather than reactive. #nurs638
