Nicholas, Joaquin, Meadow, and Carmen. Why do I mention them? Tomorrow's cord ceremony day for seniors and in less than a month prom, and afterwards graduation. Their lives were cut short because of violence, but not just any violence. Gun violence. Remember that.

Stark Law prohibits HCPs from referring patients to health services that they have financial relations with. This ensures that HCPs are looking out for their patients and not just for their own personal benefit. #NUR4108RB #W11

For nurse-patient ratios, to reduce burnout technology can be used to make the jobs of nurses easier, such as continuous vitals machines and extra ways to monitor patients simultaneously. #NUR4108RB #W10

The Nurse Overtime and Patient Safety Act can have a significant impact on my future practice. Writing letters to my state representatives and joining nursing committees can influence discussion and policies to be made. #NUR4108RB #W9

For the SDOH of education access & quality, one way RNs can advocate for patients on a state level is by demanding better implementation of primary school health education/nutrition programs to local and state leaders #NUR4108RB #W8

Q6: Outcome data I would want to see is how much time on average it takes to transfer patients post-change to evaluate whether the change helped solve the problem of delayed patient transfers in the hospital. #NUR4108RB #W7

For California's RN Staffing Ratio Law, primary stakeholders include hospital administration, nurses, and patients. These stakeholders see the effects of this policy firsthand. #NUR4108RB #W6

The purpose of the bills #HB111/#SB424 are to grant autonomous practice for certain APRNs, while HB607 is for work delegation to CNAs. Evidence shows that NPs can address the issue of primary care shortages and decrease costs of care on a state and national level. #NUR4108RB #W5

5 years later and i guess america still believes AR-15s > students, families, communities

The Affordable Care Act was first approved in 2010 and is still always changing after many years. There have been new changes made in 2021 enacted for 2022, and there most likely will be changes in the future. #NUR4108RB #W4

Q6: One of the major challenges post-pandemic is the alarming nurse:patient ratio due to widespread nurse shortages. Nurses were especially burnt out during the pandemic and action must be done to keep ratios safe and incentivize nurses to work. #NUR4108RB #W3

[Christy Ma @christywma]

So incredibly sad to see gun violence still rampant, especially affecting the AAPI community recently. No words can express the trauma that follows this kind of loss. My heart goes out to the families affected🤍

[Asian American Journalists Association est. 1981 @aaja]

AAJA has updated our guidance on covering violence in the Asian American community following the mass shooting in Half Moon Bay, California, and the increased death toll of the Monterey Park shooting. Read the full statement: https://t.co/Gdq8esrjpe

An interesting thing about AAP is that they advocate for a variety of issues that affect children's health that may not be the primary focus in hospitals, such as gun violence, vaccines, tobacco & e-cigs, and immigrant child health. #NUR4108RB #W2

[Christy Ma @christywma]

I am interested in nurse to patient ratios, which is regulated mostly by organization with few states taking action to address this specific issue. I've seen nurse shortages, especially after COVID, negatively impact ratios and patient outcomes. #NUR4108RB #W1

1. Clinical issue I focused on: 🏥👩🏻‍⚕️🛌😣😪(burnout & shortage)
2. Impact on the issue: 📣🧍🏻‍♀️⚖️ #NUR3106 #FinalTweet

[Christy Ma @christywma]

My paper topic was nursing burnout and staff shortage and this can affect patient-centered care because nurses can take shortcuts in patient care due to fatigue. I will be a change agent by helping other nurses and advocating for better work environments. #NUR3106 #M4W11

[Christy Ma @christywma]

I would advocate for reasonable working conditions by getting involved in my workplace and communicating with people in authority of any problems we may face and suggestions to alleviate them. #NUR3106 #M4W10

[Christy Ma @christywma]

I will balance leadership, accountability, and responsibility by advocating for my patients' care, encouraging coworkers to do their best, and prioritizing evidence-based care respectively. #NUR3106 #M4W9

[Christy Ma @christywma]

The distractors in this question are B & C because they relate to input & dehydration but the most important is D, patient's LOC because it may indicate more serious issues that need to be addressed first. #NUR3106 #M3W8

[Christy Ma @christywma]

A technology that is regularly used but has room for error is the EHR. Nurses can leave their accounts open and out of convenience, others may record under another account that is open. This is unsafe and I would prevent by taking time to use the EHR correctly. #NUR3106 #M3W7

[Christy Ma @christywma]

One challenge to effective communication within the healthcare team is clarification. Healthcare settings tend to be fast-paced, but it's important to slow down especially when relaying pertinent information. I will make sure I communicate clearly. #NUR3106 #M3W6
