[Nurses and Nurse Practitioners of BC @NNP_BC1]

NNPBC looks forward to representing all designations of nursing on matters of policy & with government. In addition,we look forward to working closely with our new, single nursing regulator (BCCNP)! Ushering in an era of collaboration for all of BC's nurses! #LPNs #NPs #RNs #RPNs

Today's agreement with the federal government will help to save lives as we continue to work together to combat the overdose crisis by expanding treatment options in BC. #StopOverdoses

"The team-based approach is key, and so is the fact that it is being phased in over three years.. A one-size-fits-all model may not work as well in all areas of the province, so taking the time to get it right is smart." https://t.co/DKBT5YKMQ1

[Adrian Dix @adriandix]

Our primary care strategy presented by Premier @jjhorgan is focussed on teams-doctors, health sciences professionals, Nurse Practioners, nurses and community health workers working together 2 improve access for the 780,000 BCer without a GP or NP. https://t.co/ueZfrr5RYx

Bravo to @adriandix for this substantial commitment to improving primary healthcare access for British Columbians. Nurse Practitioners look forward to working with you on this ambitious 3 year roll out! @bcnpa @NNP_BC https://t.co/pHojPNO9Q5

Thrilled to be part of the delegation from @ICNurses at the #WHA2018 universal health care will only happen with nursing help @canadanurses #YesThisIsNursing

[Zak Matieschyn @ZakMatieschyn]

@HRNA_AIIRM @RNAO @canadanurses @CANACACIIS @BCRNs So happy to hear this. Playing the long game works! (It was over 2 years ago when we at @BCRNs sought intervener status on this case with other nursing associations). Another example of nursing making the world a healthier place!

In our effort to address the drug poisoning and overdose crisis, we made it possible for nurse practitioners to prescribe opioid substitution therapy.

@HRNA_AIIRM @CANACACIIS @SRNAdialogue @RNAO @ManitobaNurses @CRNBC @CFNU @canadanurses @EquiHealthCda @VCHhealthcare @Providence_Hlth @Fraserhealth Bummed out that I’ll be out of town that week, but soooo excited this is happening. I’m there in spirit!

[Sally Thorne @salthorne]

So inspired to be part of this movement toward a nursing professional voice that involves all of us. We are a "system" of nursing, each with a contribution to make, and united we can move mountains to transform care delivery for the benefit of those we serve. @BCRNs https://t.co/KO9GFiIGyu

[Nurses and Nurse Practitioners of BC @NNP_BC1]

Thanks @canadanurses for the article in the latest issue of the Canadian Nurse on the issue of amalgamation: https://t.co/zQUqbiGT3X @LPNABC @BCRNs @bcnpa @ARPNBC

[Zak Matieschyn @ZakMatieschyn]

@MBnurses Absolutely - BC high schools are. And in Nelson @ANKORSWest is training any teen who wants how to use a #naloxonekit to bring to parties. We simply have to pull all the stops to stop the dying.

[Sally Thorne @salthorne]

BC nurse colleagues. It's time to pay attention to the union politics being enacted in your name. Lets strive for a world in which no nursing organization places as a priority the destruction of another. #EndTheBullying #ARNBCMythbusters https://t.co/SAIupg6nLK

[Nurses and Nurse Practitioners of BC @NNP_BC1]

Principles that will guide the new NNPBC include respect, collaboration and a recognition of the uniqueness of each nursing designation: https://t.co/UDwgUy075F

Speaking at National e Mental Health Conference in Vancouver. Great to see so many practitioners and researchers dedicated to making mental health services more accessible. #emh18

[BCCNA @BC_CNA]

BCCNA is proud to watch the emerging @NNP_BC . Since 2013 we have seen the value and excellent work that arises from collaboration. Discord and 'fight' are not the norm in nursing, it is through collaboration that we can truly advance the profession. https://t.co/swwFk2iy99

@Timgthr @BCCSU @DarcyJudy @HRNA_AIIRM Thanks @Timgthr! Great to get the discussion started on this important issue

ICBC has posted a nearly $1 billion loss in the first 9 months of the fiscal year. NDP are clearly dealing with a massive mess handed over from the previous government. #BCpoli
