"There is no excuse for continuing to condemn a generation of girls and women to cervical cancer and cancer deaths. Eliminating cervical cancer can be done. We owe it to our children to do it." - Arthur L. Caplan, Ph.D and Peter Hotez, MD, Ph.D

So cool! Social media plays such a huge role in how people view their healthcare choices. Thank you @Pinterest!

A healthy life = an inspired life. We’re now surfacing information from public health experts when you make vaccine-related searches on Pinterest. https://t.co/LBbLrJ5p9m

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

WHO welcomes @Pinterest’s leadership in protecting public health by only providing evidence-based information about vaccines to its users.
We hope to see other social media platforms around the world following Pinterest's lead https://t.co/L3WB5LiMrt

@MegNicholsRN I just started composting this week with Recycled City Phoenix, it's like a subscription service- they give you the bin, collect it weekly, and bring your compost to local farms that are strategically located in food deserts. Love it so far! #ASUDNP603

@ArsenaSmith Education is important, lately I have been seeing patients suffering because physicians are afraid to prescribe pain meds. We need to find a balance somehow. #ASUDNP603

[Edie Watson @edie_watsonRN]

@ArsenaSmith I agree, one of our most important responsibilities is advocacy- where better to do it than in public policy? #ASUDNP603

Famine can amount to a crime against humanity if food restrictions are used as a weapon, according to UN officials. https://t.co/3h1hjaOn3z

@MegNicholsRN Food deserts play a big role- if parents can’t travel far enough to get good quality food, they will settle for the nearest convenience store. #ASUDNP603

“...the resolution condemns all forms of political violence in Cambodia, urges the immediate release of opposition leader Kem Sokha, and calls for free, fair, and monitored 2018 elections.” Happy to see Cambodia getting some much needed attention. #ASUDNP603 https://t.co/WnwfQ2oWcG

Today is #nationalphilanthropyday. What's your favorite way to show you care about the vulnerable in our communities? One idea is to stash care bags in your car- toothbrush, toothpaste, socks, etc. Hand them out when you pass someone in need. #ASUDNP603

Women More Likely Than Men to Die in First Year After Heart Attack.
Mostly attributed to age, but perhaps they don't follow up as well because of the misconception that heart disease is a men's health issue. #ASUDNP603 https://t.co/lBQwVnJ8YB

In Africa, Rural Clinics Entice Pregnant Women With ‘Baby Pictures'.

@TashaDNP603 Was just having a conversation at work about this. Some family members feel they can say whatever they want when they are upset- I just tell them as professionally as possible that what they’re doing is not acceptable. #ASUDNP603

[Edie Watson @edie_watsonRN]

@TaylorJanuary3 I make a point of asking all of my patients if they know what FAST is on discharge- especially important with elderly population. #ASUDNP603
