@nurseavella@pppforpatients@VACNP Yes!! Nurses practitioners generally come into the field with years of real world experience as registered nurses. We should be afforded the same autonomy as our professional peers #nurs638policy
@sgrimes94@CMSGov I completely agree, nurses worked for more than a year with no vaccine and we were called hero’s. Now we are firing these same hero’s for doing exactly what they were applauded for last year. #nurs638policy
@DemandAbolition@swopusa decriminalizing sex work is a matter of public health. Legalization has shown to decrease STD transmission and reports of violence by sex workers. Sex work is real work. #Nurs638policy
@JessK703 How the media portrays social issues greatly affects public and government response. Knowing this gives us the ability to leverage the power of media to implement social change.
I really enjoyed the article by Esmark & Schoop (2017) in #nurs638policy, demonstrating how political and media framing can influence public perceptions and opinions #thepowerofwords
Best required reading-Medicine and Mass Incarceration: Education and Advocacy in the New York City Jail System. Prophetically stresses need for education on treating those who are incarcerated. Remember: they're human too! @JonathanGiftos #nurs638policy
Getting Wrecked by @DrKimSue is a very insightful read that highlights the unique struggles of women during the opioid crisis. The personal stories leave a powerful mark #nurs638policy
@nurs621 has taught me the importance of ensuring that the intent of health policies matches the outcomes of that policy after implementation. One must consider all potential negative consequences prior to implementing policy to avoid causing harm.
Despite mental health access advances, rural and low-socioeconomic areas remain underserviced. This comes with the price of higher acuity patients and increased cost of care. Telehealth cannot be the only option. We can do better VA! @VirginiaCHC@VirginiaDBHDS#nurs638policy
Despite policies in promoting medication assisted treatment (MAT) those w/Opioid Use Disorder in rural areas still having difficulty accessing MAT. Push for bipartisan support to promote access, decrease pts & provider barriers to MAT. @samhsagov@VaRuralHealth#nurs638policy
Today my professor reminded me:"good drugs at good doses work like they're supposed to". We have medications that can change the lives of our patients for the better. How will you assure that they can afford them? @RepSpanberger@MarkWarner#nurs638policy
@SenWarren@timkaine A comprehensive plan addressing expunging marijuana related convictions and restorative justice is needed to begin to address disparities created by the “war on drugs”. Legalization is an opportunity to generate revenue for struggling states #nurs638policy
To me, that level of inequality is morally unconscionable.
Now is the time for legislation that says yes, in the richest country on the face of the planet, seniors must be able to age with dignity — we must expand Medicare to cover hearing aids, dental care, and eyeglasses.
@earthnamek @iamcardib I’m sorry, is it her fault you’re poor? Is she responsible for all the sickness in the world and the lack of universal healthcare??? Nope...then let her live. I don’t understand why people who loathe the rich flock to their pages.
