🚨 On January 12th Florida Senator Clay Yarborough filed SB 1756- known as the “Medical Freedom Bill.”

This was the anticipated bill that would include the verbiage to propel Florida into its next steps in “ending ALL vaccine mandates.”

However, on January 12th, 2026 when the bill was filed, there was no such verbiage to be found. In fact, it was removed entirely.

The companion bill HB917 filed by House Representative
Jeff Holcomb was also less than to be desired as it also did not have any “end all vaccine mandate” verbiage.

@flgovrondesantis had a great opportunity to hold true to his word in his last term as governor and DID NOT.

So what exactly does this mean for Floridians and beyond?

“There has to be a massive public outcry.”

That’s the message that was placed on my heart days before @senronjohnson announced he would open the Congressional record on COVID hospital protocols — if 200 sworn statements are submitted.

Now the moment is here.

Families. Nurses. Doctors. Patients. Healthcare workers.

If you witnessed what happened inside hospitals during COVID, this is the time to speak.

Accountability and justice will only come when the public refuses to stay silent any longer.

And if writing your story feels overwhelming, help is available.

Check out my latest Substack (link in bio) for a AI prompt I created to help you!

We need these stories documented. We need these voices heard. We need to get this done.

Six years ago today, I started speaking out. What nurses were seeing in real time did not match the public narrative. And when I found myself in direct conflict with institutional pressure, I went back and read the Nursing Code of Ethics for myself. That is when I realized

A nurse once shared that careful documentation helped identify a safety issue in her unit. At the time it seemed like a small detail. Later it became an important piece of information in understanding what had happened. Observation and documentation matter. Real clinical

Provision 3 defines one of nursing’s most essential responsibilities: advocacy. This includes: • Protecting patient safety • Reporting unsafe practices • Ensuring patient rights are respected Advocacy is not optional — it’s part of ethical nursing practice. Jodi breaks down how

[Nurses Out Loud @NursesOutLoud]

Many nurses have heard of the Code of Ethics, but few have studied how the provisions apply to real nursing situations. Provision 3 is one of the most important — because it focuses on protecting patients. If you want to see how these provisions apply in real nursing scenarios,

[Nurses Out Loud @NursesOutLoud]

A nurse once described working multiple double shifts because the unit was short staffed. By the end, she was exhausted and worried about making mistakes. Situations like this highlight why nurse well being matters for both ethical practice and patient safety. Jodi discusses

Burnout affects millions of nurses. But it isn’t just about stress — it can also affect patient safety, decision-making, and ethical care. Supporting nurses is part of creating an ethical healthcare environment. Jodi talks about the ethical dimensions of nursing practice in her

[Nurses Out Loud @NursesOutLoud]

A nurse once shared that the hardest part of her shift wasn’t the workload. It was a situation where she wasn’t sure what the right ethical decision was. These moments happen more often than we talk about in healthcare. That’s why understanding ethics matters. Jodi explores

Provision 4 highlights the importance of accountability in nursing practice. This includes: • Clinical judgment • Accurate documentation • Responsible decision-making Accountability is essential for both patient safety and professional integrity. Jodi explains how this

[Nurses Out Loud @NursesOutLoud]

Many nurses focus on patient care but rarely think about how ethical decision-making affects their professional license. Understanding nursing ethics helps nurses navigate situations that could otherwise become serious professional challenges. If you want to strengthen your

[Nurses Out Loud @NursesOutLoud]

Ask a nurse what the Code of Ethics says without letting them look it up. Most will say, “Do no harm.” That’s not the nursing Code of Ethics. And that reveals a much deeper issue. Most nurses think they’re good people, so they assume they’re practicing ethically and abiding by

A nurse once noticed several patients experiencing similar reactions after treatment. At first she assumed it was a coincidence. But after documenting the pattern, it helped initiate further review. Careful observation is one of the most powerful tools nurses have. Jodi talks
