@uninterrupted @KingJames PTSD? I’m sure this was tongue in cheek. Try being in the “bubble” to save lives while the rest of the country doesn’t even want you leaving the hospital. #lovewhereyoulive #Florida #nurse

@GovRonDeSantis we #BackTheBlue we #SupportSmallBusinesses and thankful you acknowledged them on @Twitter & @Facebook this past week. But did you overlook #NursesDay? We have worked our butts off & worked above & beyond. #NursesWeek2021 #NurseTwitter

@chairmang @chucktodd Well, being that a very large majority of the bedside medical practitioners were talking about this Jan ‘20, and was published in Newsweek to the public, we know it was so why ask? https://t.co/XGXph9h5x0

Every elected official should be seeking this for their constituents. These days, Americans don’t agree on much... but here is common ground. @SenRickScott @marcorubio

[NursesTakeFlorida @NursesTake]

I’m just curious WHO deserves your support? FL nurses have been serving our state without a seat at the table for years. We know what ur against, what R U 4? FL nurses can’t keep this burden without support any longer. COVID gave a glimpse... take a stand. #safestaffingsaveslives

[Marco Rubio @marcorubio]

Corporations that undermine America don’t deserve our support https://t.co/308QK4Je4r via @nypost

@drannamvaldez @KateRSimpson @NrsgMutualAid @radicalnurses @nurses4humrghts @NursingTheoryCo @APHAPHN While I do agree that these patients may have unmet needs, it’s hard to address them when the staff has too many patients to care for.

Protip: Handwritten letters from constituents/advocates (which have become increasingly rare) always get read, and usually get a reply.

The same can’t be said for 1,300 of the same template email, which doesn’t tell a personal story.

And probably more compared to #Florida @FLHealthJustice @FlaDems @FLGOPMajority @FLSenateGOP Residents, not @FlChamber voted you to office

CHOPR study shows patients in CA hospitals get up to 3 hours a day more RN care than patients in NY and PA that do not have state legislation setting required minimum nurse staffing. #NurseTwitter https://t.co/rkCSH7ZImU

@RBReich Address mental health and the stigma surrounding it. CO has extended background checks. His family knew he had mental health issues. Ask yourself why they didn’t follow up with that. Lack of resources? Stigmatized?

SMH @FlChamber putting hospital profits over patient safety! Thank you @FLGOPMajority @FLHouseDems for putting #FL citizens 1st. HB 651 up voted. Accountability is necessary in a profit driven healthcare. #Nurse #Safestaffingsaveslives

[NursesTakeFlorida @NursesTake]

Great idea, however after nurses get their license & experience, they leave to practice in other states due to historical poor staffing & low pay. #patientsafety #safestaffingsaveslives #nurse #FL #healthcare https://t.co/lxUN1XqWQ4

@AnnaForFlorida @MccurdyTravaris Let’s get Florida 100% vaccinated!

[NursesTakeFlorida @NursesTake]

@KrucialStaffing @drinkdripdrop So wonderful to hear about companies that donate to nurses that are STILL giving their all to this #COVID19 pandemic

[NursesTakeFlorida @NursesTake]

@FLJusticeReform Shield health care providers? Or do you mean hospitals in FL running the care into the ground? #safestaffingsaveslives

[NursesTakeFlorida @NursesTake]

@FLJusticeReform @AmTortReform If hospitals put safety over profits, we wouldn’t have this problem.

[NursesTakeFlorida @NursesTake]

@FLJusticeReform you do not speak 4 the overwhelming # of nurses who KNOW working as a bedside nurse is unsafe. Hospitals may have money to hire your lobbing firm, but we have our oath. Thank you @FLGOPMajority @FLHouseDems for voting 4 HB 651. #Nursing #safestaffingsaveslives

At what point will a nurse be able to fulfill her PROFESSIONAL oath? With families being locked out of visiting, sometimes a nurse is the only advocate. https://t.co/cdbf76st8E
