What a ride it's been @ThinkRevive. So excited that one of my favorite projects -- ever -- is about to come out into the world for @RWJF.

In the fight for health equity, it's not about what will make a difference, but who. https://t.co/dVQpMITCZ3 #WhoCaresAboutHealthEquity

One of the arguments for scaling back the ACA Medicaid expansion is that enrollees are "able-bodied" and don't need health care.

44% of Medicaid expansion enrollees have a chronic condition.

Hello. Today I'm a Supreme Court reporter. My story on the affirmative action ruling and how it will affect medical schools is up and will be updated: https://t.co/f49JAZBhHJ

[Usha Lee McFarling @ushamcfarling]

I learned so much reporting this story and hearing from nurses such as @whitf037 who overcame a challenging childhood on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation to become the experienced psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner she is today. https://t.co/YAhyTQPlrw

"I’ve felt I’ve had a target on my back."

"They will just fire you."

"No one is going to do a damned thing."

These are just a few of the sentiments shared by nurses of different racial and ethnic backgrounds when interviewed by @statnews about experiences with racism, how to make nursing more inclusive, and whether they think change is possible.

This article follows the release of an @RWJF-funded study on racism in the nursing profession, which underscores the mental health toll that may be forcing some from the profession. It also points to the essential and urgent need to disrupt racism in the healthcare system.

The latest survey on racism in nursing is out from @RWJF / @NORCNews. But of course this issue goes well beyond the data, and @ushamcfarling did it justice with real stories that tell the painful lived experience and history of being a nurse of color in this country.

[Usha Lee McFarling @ushamcfarling]

So I wrote about racism in nursing which strikes in some particularly hard and pervasive ways. A new survey out today from @RWJF shows 80% of nurses have seen or experienced racism from patients and 60% have from colleagues. New story and 🧵https://t.co/lH7v5OIKKq

And let’s commit to the work that will advance #GenderEquity. 1/

How to sell a blockbuster drug, Zantac style:
-do research
-send (most) data to FDA
-don't share a key study on drug's potential cancer risk
-get approved
-downplay said cancer risk for 40 years

@jacasiegel Leaves are my dad’s no 1 enemy, so I got him these giant green Hulk style leaf mitts to pick up the giant piles so the process of shuffling leaves around the yard will go 10X faster! Bonus: he thought they were hilarious 😂

Many Americans with intellectual and developmental disabilities receive care from family members, but many families have not made long-term plans for when those caregivers age, @sclaudwhitehead reports. Read the story on KHN: https://t.co/nOGbzn3Lh2

Is it weird that the flu is hitting the South before the North? I thought flu tracked with cold weather.

Intense flu season hitting Georgia with 'very high' activity level, doctors say https://t.co/dgmoyNFMXs via @11AliveNews

NEW: #COVID19 vaccine uptake among children has stalled & vax rates remain low for young children. As of Nov. 2, 3.2% of children under age 5 and 31.8% of kids ages 5-11 had completed their primary series. Uptake is higher among those ages 12-17, at 61.1% https://t.co/6XfweX5nCr

Everyone enjoying “fall back?”

If the Senate got its way — and the bill they passed in March became law — today would have been the last-ever “fall back.”

But instead, the bill for permanent daylight saving quietly died in the House.

I got curious how that happened. (Thread.)

How can nurses help confront structural racism in healthcare settings?

- Understand what perpetuates structural racism in healthcare
- Encourage colleagues to pursue leadership roles
- Join workplaces boards to pursue institutional change
