Social class is the most important determinant of health, but what is social class? Is it medical care and education? Is it power and a sense of security? Is there one that is more important than the other? #unnaturalcauses @Health311

“Nurses are exposed to pain and suffering and trauma, and we are often traumatized and not even realize it. Self-care is actually a responsibility, as you can see in the Code of Ethics. If we aren't caring for ourselves, we can't care for others.” @Health311 #nurseselfcare

“Know when to take breaks. Get something to eat. Eat right. Eat a nutritious diet. Get some sleep. Learn how to delegate. Sometimes nurses think they can do it all,” said Midlands Tech nurse instructor Gwendolyn Richardson. https://t.co/Ahoz2WonHM

@Health311 the average life expectancy in the US has improved 30 years in the 20th century. this is due not only to drugs or medical advances but to social changes such as work conditions, overall improved sanitation & access to universal health care #itsallabouthealth

@Health311 social conditions (jobs, money, school, & neighborhoods) are just as important to our health as our medical care and genetics #itsallabouthealth
