When a nurse’s aid says “oh wow, I’ve never seen a Director of Nursing work the floor before”

This is a public health issue

[Joseph Lear @josephmljr]

In his memoire, world Xianity scholar Lamin Sanneh tells of when he was circumcised as a pagan pubescent boy. He was barricaded in a shelter to heal and told demons would kill him if he exited. One of his friends died of infection. And evangelicals complain of purity culture.

This week, Medicare will start financially penalizing nursing homes who have worse employee turnover. Less funds means less ability to attract and retain good staff to care for our nations elderly. This is not the solution. Stop penalizing our noble work 💁🏼‍♀️

Nursing homes are being fined into oblivion. Punish the bad actors. For the rest of us, reimburse fairly so we can stay open https://t.co/yNps84wGBK

I Venmo’d my therapist and didn’t know what to put in the comments so in a moment of haste I just put 😅😅😅😅😅

[Doctor Nurse @HollyLear]

Nursing homes saw a 41% increase in costs this year. We need more funding, more support to stay open. The elderly need this service.

[AHCA/NCAL @ahcancal]

We project that 400+ nursing homes could soon close. Many more are likely if federal officials move forward on a proposed cut to Medicare.

As president & CEO Mark Parkinson has said, “Every closure is like a family being broken apart."

@AmericanAir why do armed services get to board the flight first when I, a nurse, have been saving lives rather than ending them? Serving my country in deeply profound ways? What of us? What of everyone else?
