BREAKING: President Biden, moments ago, just praised the amazing nurses in America. He said something I couldn't fathom Trump ever saying. #BidenIsBeatingBigPharma

Biden said,
"I’ve been a significant consumer of healthcare. Doctors let you live. Nurses, male or female, make you want to live. I’m serious. The single most underrated profession in America are nurses. I mean it!

Thank you Joe Biden for giving America's nurses the credit that they deserve, especially after COVID!

@CherlynnForKY Congratulations Cherlynn! You’re the best!

[Kathy Wheeler @FNPKathy]

Yes, I agree. I expect to wear a mask at work the rest of my professional life, and patients should as well. There’s so much infectious disease, why haven’t we been doing this all along!?!

@ConatyBuck @AANP_NEWS Susan, you've provided a great list of benefits of health informatics! Who could have dreamed how useful it has all been. I love accessing my own health "portal" to see what I need, when my appointments are, etc. Patients are catching on to it all as well.
