For #internationalwomensday & #DisabilityAwarenessMonth I honor #JudyHeumann who, along with others, is the reason we have 504 accommodations in schools. THANK YOU to those who fought & continue to fight for access & fair treatment for those with disabilities. #WeareALLHeumann!

Every day, over 110 lives are stolen by gun violence. Too many of our lawmakers see these deaths and remain unfazed, unwilling to act.

So we're speaking their language. We've broken down how much money gun violence is costing Americans. Read more here:

Lessons from America's experiment with universal free school meals.

"With rising food price inflation, gas prices, housing costs, a national childcare crisis, these families are desperate for help and we cannot leave them behind," Lisa Davis says. https://t.co/jbADqsi9ee

@FarmBeagle I have no problem supporting reasonable, common-sense laws to “control” something that kills or injures 22 children EVERY DAY in America. We must prioritize #studenthealth with actions and goals like those listed here https://t.co/e0bqEZ5y3A

If the same people who are professing to be “pro-LIFE” were here next to me, fighting for universal healthcare, paid family/medical leave, lactation accommodation laws, & gun laws that protect children-I might believe them. But sadly, this isn't about "life." It's about control.

[school nurse @beyondbandaids]

Are you sure you’re pro-life? You may want to re-examine your association and support of groups & political parties who are actively tearing down or outright refusing to provide the support parents actually need to raise a healthy child.

What rights do #schoolnurses have to say to a district, I need more help or less work? My license is on the line d/t inadequate staffing. Sadly, if something wasn’t documented well, I’d be seen as inadequate rather than the real cause: the system is not structured well. Thoughts?

[school nurse @beyondbandaids]

#Nurses are told to document everything! It is critical! But, what do you do if your workload is so heavy, you are not given adequate time to document during your work hours. I often feel pressure to work over (without pay) to try to get more done.

@inthebubblepod @ASlavitt 💛 the show! IDEA: feature #schoolnurses on the show! We are the largest, FREE of charge healthcare workforce impacting our youth & families. We are on the frontlines of covid surges, helping to shape the health & future of our country! @RobinCogan

“It’s probably COVID. I don’t need to get tested”.

[school nurse @beyondbandaids]

Let’s make this change. It is NOT a “walk of shame” to tell others you tested positive for COVID. It is a “walk of compassion”. Letting others know you may have exposed them to COVID is the right thing to do!

[school nurse @beyondbandaids]

I wonder about the big picture… are we doing enough to learn how to live with this virus and minimize its impacts. We are still trying to reconstruct our pre-pandemic normal instead of adapting and focusing on becoming more agile.

[school nurse @beyondbandaids]

Here’s an alarming stat from my school:
We’ve had more students/staff report becoming infected in the last 2 weeks than we’ve had in the first 17 weeks of school.
We are DEFINITELY in a difference stage of the pandemic.#schoolnurse

[school nurse @beyondbandaids]

I have another 40 students who are quarantining bc they are symptomatic &/or are household contacts & the students are unable to test bc of the testing back up.
I’m concerned this is ramping up so fast it will soon overwhelm our ability to minimize & manage exposures at school.

the spread of COVID-19 visualized

[school nurse @beyondbandaids]

@AirTalk is there a similar effort like the daily Stanford Medicine Health Survey (that I did each day on my phone last year) to monitor symptoms in those who are vaccinated? https://t.co/tKX01LadOn

[school nurse @beyondbandaids]

These absences are needed but super disruptive to leaning. How can we manage this to minimize its impact on our students?

[school nurse @beyondbandaids]

@AirTalk If schools continue to exclude students for up to 10 days for cold/flu/covid symptoms - as a school nurse, that’s most of the kids I see each day - How can schools manage & mitigate this reality of students who have these frequent or long absences?

[school nurse @beyondbandaids]

Caffeine, 🤷‍♀️why isn’t it on the nutrition label?!? Too much caffeine can be a problem. Like most things, moderation is the key, right? But, how can you moderate something when you’re not told how much you’re consuming?! @US_FDA Help us out! Add caffeine to the nutrition label!
