@sitpit12@AudraRankin@UNCSON I also learned how X works tonight and how it can be applicable in a professional setting. It's inspiring to hear everyone's ideas to improve healthcare!
@AudraRankin@UNCSON A7: I learned about workplace wellness groups to increase healthcare outcomes and goals through people’s place of employment in Thailand. It’s something I would like to learn more about and determine how this could become more prevalent in the United States, #NURSEPOLICY
@AudraRankin@UNCSON A4: The National Action Plan to Improve Health Literacy by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services uses a multi-sector approach to incorporate health information into curricula and support local efforts to provide English-language instruction in communities, #NURSEPOLICY
@PHIMONs6636136@AudraRankin I really like the 8:8:8 rule! It's difficult to do as nurses sometimes, but it shows how important it is to plan and protect your time on 12 hour work days
@Supawita_wis@AudraRankin Usually 12 shifts per month is considered full time in the United States, but because of the nursing shortage a lot of hospitals are asking employees to pick up extra shifts on top of that
@KuruwutP@AudraRankin@UNCSON Workplace wellness programs also occur in the United States but it is not commonplace for many companies. Increasing wellness programs in work settings could build camaraderie among employees and increase wellness!
@AudraRankin@UNCSON A2: One of the most important health policy efforts in our country is regarding drug overdose prevention. This involves policies surrounding syringe services programs, access to substance use disorder treatment services and access to naloxone, #NURSEPOLICY
@bouyjimon@AudraRankin@UNCSON I agree, this puts nurses in the perfect position to become involved in advocating for healthcare issues that they have personal experiences with.
@AudraRankin@UNCSON A1: Nurses advocate for patients, their families, and each other by sharing their viewpoints and supporting related policies. Some nurses become involved in politics to have an even more significant impact, #NURSEPOLICY
