@KatlynStanley7 There tends to be a correlation to poorer patient outcomes and nurses who are experiencing burnout. I think it is the nurse's duty to maintain their own mental health, but the corporation's duty to understand the risks involved and facilitate self-care. #NR4030519

@MakaylaTysinger My mother actually had cervical cancer when I was growing up due to not having the HPV vaccine! HPV is very common and almost always asymptomatic but could lead to dangerous cervical cancer, to me it is so easy to prevent that complication! #NR4030519

@mikaelacolema10 Great tweet, Mikaela! I think there is still a lot of myths about the flu shot that has made so many people against it! 61% effective means to me that there were a lot of preventable deaths related to the flu this year. Education is so important! #NR4030519

This may be something us as medical professionals brush off as common knowledge, but in fact, hand washing still remains one of the easiest ways to prevent many communicable diseases. It's important to always add this to patient education. #NR4030519

Handwashing is one of the best ways to protect yourself and your family from getting sick. Learn when and how you should wash your hands to stay healthy. https://t.co/XKevxiMEjR

It's so proactive that the World Health Organization is fighting for global recognition and awareness of suicide. Suicide has warning signs and is preventable, that is why awareness is so important. End the stigma around mental health, and save lives! #NR4030519

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

Every 40 seconds someone dies by suicide.

Suicides are preventable.

It is expected to find polyps in about a quarter of patients! Although only a minority of those become cancerous, it is very important for people to undergo early screening to prevent colorectal cancer. Secondary prevention! #NR4030519
