Safer nurse staffing ratios are needed for improved safety of patients and staff. The Nurse-to-Patient Staffing Standards Bill needs support from all advocacy groups and legislators to set the standard for the future of nursing care. #nurs638policy@ahahospitals@ANANursingWorld
Getting Wrecked by @DrKimSue sheds light on the complexities of drug addiction, treatment, and the law in women's lives. I am humbled by the magnitude of the problem but encouraged by the awareness generated by this work.

@KidNPGinger @DrKimSue @amazon Yes, I agree. It was definitely heart wrenching and eye opening. It goes to show how stigmas are solely in the eye of the beholder.
We've all heard about opioid abuse and made judgments. Getting Wrecked @DrKimSue shatters those beliefs. Heartwrenching and eye-opening humanizing experiences. Required reading for healthcare professionals #nurse638policy https://t.co/bu4czzfhxj via @amazon
@DrKimSue Getting Wrecked gave insight on how opioid addiction can easily affect any woman. This book gave solutions to a difficult crisis that often fails in many communities. More outreach programs and initiatives are needed to decrease the opioid crisis. #nurs638policy
Finding key stakeholders can be challenging in health policy, but the end result of making a difference is very rewarding. I am ready to be the voice of change.

Let's partner with providers and educate our healthcare teams to facilitate unbiased and supportive discussion around HIV. We must utilize creative outreach efforts - such as social media - to advocate for those at risk or living with HIV #SpeakOutHIV#nurs638policy
In support of the United States' Roadmap to End the Epidemic, it is critical that we address the barriers that many still face when seeking HIV education, testing & treatment. The STIGMA and DISCRIMINATION are crippling for State and Federal efforts. @GovernorVA@VDHgov@UNAIDS
The decriminalization of drugs is a public health initiative. It’s time to reduce stigma and discrimination, and promote increased access to mental health services. Decriminalization is fiscally relevant, rational, and rooted in health and human rights. #nurs638policy@WHO@UN
Human trafficking is a crime that remains hidden until it is not. Many individuals are suffering, even after they are found. We need to put an end to trafficking and to their trauma. @GovernorVa @BeatingTrauma Help us protect the survivors
