You are only as strong as your foundation.

I've spent the last decade researching, reporting, and writing about the habits and practices of sustainable excellence.

Here are the highlights of what I've learned:

All 37 states admitted after the original 13 were all done so by a simple majority vote in Congress.

So why should DC be any different? It's time to make DC our 51st state. (via @51stDC)

My 5 year old daughter told my 3 yr old son while they were playing “mommies and hunnys” today that she had an early call and she had to go into the office now, but she would pick him up after school. #parentinggoals #remoteworking #motherhood

@HumaneFoodie Looking forward to that day!

Looking at the chart, your heart might sink, until you see what it’s measuring.

@laxswamy The nurses in my unit really knew each other and supported each other to the core, pregnancy, babies, marriage, divorce, loss...it was a network of support that helped to carry you through the chronic trauma, stress, and loss experienced.

[Amanda Tosto @aptnurs]

@illinileo These findings made me think of you, the fishbowl and the climate of teamwork we had....

Excited to share our study: the Impact of Workplace Climate on Burnout Among Critical Care Nurses @VeteransHealth! I learned (some) SAS to write this paper and ran the analyses myself with phenomenal mentorship from @seppo_rinne @David_C_Mohr & others! 🧵 https://t.co/qchIUZOfyG

@laxswamy @kirsten_redman @CritCareGame Here’s how I have described the experience/role, very similar to Kirsten...Supervises unit operations, determines staffing and manages patient flow; ensures patient safety, regulatory compliance and is prepared to respond to emergency situations or conflicts.

Those who've read about deaths in Norwegian nursing homes among seniors who had recently been vaccinated against #Covid19, please read this. Those who haven't yet read about the Norwegian deaths — please read it too. https://t.co/ByEdqxgCX6

@laxswamy Nursing!! ...they know the I’s and Os, can show you the weights and will have put hands on the patient.
