I happened to notice that the nursing profession - the largest healthcare providers in the state - was not represented on the council. When nurses are not at the table, they are on the menu. #lalege@GovLouisiana
The committee fell short in exemplifying a comprehensive range of solutions for our state. The limited scope concentrated solely on physicians, neglecting the inclusion of other vital healthcare professionals, notably APRNs/RNs, the cornerstones of our healthcare system. #lalege
The word nurse is only mentioned once in this report -- not exactly rolling out the welcome mat for nurses Louisiana. #wehavebarriers#legislativeredtape#lalege While it says "one team", it really is all about the physicians. https://t.co/ucYW9yoOHH

๐งต We often say the #SAVEact is supported by 40+ years of research. That handy talking point somewhat diminishes the mountain of evidence. Let's fix that.
Over the next few days (weeks?), we'll be highlighting some of the dozens of studies here. #NCGA
Thank you to Doctoral Hooding Ceremony Grand Marshal, @ul_nursing Dean Emerita Melinda Oberleitner. With 40+ years of service at @ULLafayette, she has cultivated excellence in nursing education and has fostered the development of future nursing leaders. That's a lasting legacy!
Allowing nurses more freedom can save NC from healthcare shortages https://t.co/lnVKlNNu8X โBest of all, more than 80% of NPs are certified in primary care. NPs can provide a safe and cost-effective solution to a looming shortage of family doctors, especially in ruralโฆโ #txlege
Dr. Jennifer Lemoine - @uofunursing alumna - is behind the podium at the @WINursing conference, speaking about sex-based differences in peripheral arterial disease.
#lalege -- Pay attention to the facts when you are considering bills about nursing this session. Lowering educational and safety standards to put "widgets" at the bedside is not the answer!
RNs at the bedside improve quality outcomes of patients. https://t.co/9rSPyrU20x

@SnarkySadie8 @calebwatney Sadie, tell your friend that if that type of patient would present to an NP or a Family Practice physician, they would refer the patient to a specialist, or probably several specialists, so no need to worry.
