A6: Nurse/patient ratios, climate change, COVID-19, drug pricing, mental health to name a few. #JHSONPolicy22 My passion is pediatrics: this article on the impacts climate change/COVID-19 have on children is a must read. https://t.co/9EBXNzLNCD

@DrTomori @JHUNursing @SafiyyahOkoye A6: Nurses account for the majority of healthcare professionals- we belong in ALL places decisions are made & ALWAYS deserve to have a seat at the table. Our skills & position of trust make us ideal advocates https://t.co/sEmCaG3wT8

@FurhaShuttari @HospiceofMI @DrTomori @SafiyyahOkoye I love the idea of involving both the patient & their family in your advocacy through local organizations. Nurses have a moral and professional obligation to be engaged in legislation that impacts their patients. https://t.co/uKUWn22Gid

@mbrenem1 I couldn’t agree more, advocacy doesn’t have to stop at the bedside! https://t.co/gbMC1AHXS8

@DrTomori @JHUNursing @SafiyyahOkoye A4: Nurses can engage at the local level by assuming leadership positions, contacting elected officials about legislation, joining local professional organizations & being involved in committees at their workplace https://t.co/xH0XSKmyyV

@jenhadds9734 @DrTomori @JHUNursing @SafiyyahOkoye Great Point! Social media is the new form of human interaction. Millennials have grown up with social media & make up about 50% of the current workforce. Social media is a great place to find your political voice. https://t.co/rREfYpbUma #JHSONPolicy22

@taytay_collins @DrTomori @JHUNursing @SafiyyahOkoye I couldn't agree more! A great example of nurses utilizing social media was the call for PPE at the beginning of the pandemic. Nurses shared their stories & photos n @Twitter using #GetMePPE to spread awareness of this critical shortage. https://t.co/zN6EiN59GJ

@KatieZnp I agree that they do a great job keeping us up to date & organized. Despite the immense efforts put forth by professional organizations, there is still a significant lack of nursing representation in health policy

@DrTomori @JHUNursing @SafiyyahOkoye A1: Myself & 350,000 ANA members mobilized and sent messages to congress & state reps about dire lack of PPE for frontline workers. My state, Rhode Island, submitted 23,000 requests and received 17 million donations. https://t.co/eCJh6Jk1vZ
