We are heartbroken by the passing of Devyn Gale. In your young life, you impacted so many people. You embodied the courage and compassion of your calling to be a nurse. Our sincere condolences to your family, your friends and all who knew and loved you.

Let’s talk about Black physicians (5% of all physicians). We have statistically lower MCAT and Step scores. However, Black physicians taking care of Black patients decreases mortality. If we let less Black applicants into medical school, more patients will die.

Period.

Perfect synergy: I signed up for @marionleary's @CASN43 webinar a few weeks ago. Yesterday met with a student who wanted info about entrepreneurship and innovation in nursing. Now I have so many more resources to share!

@cg_canning I read Oliver Sacks' "On the Move" followed by his partner Bill Hayes' "Insomaniac City: New York, Oliver, and me" and loved the juxtaposition of the two stories of their relationship and how Hayes' writes about Sacks' death.

@NursePatMacRN Canvas has an option to leave voice responses on student assignments that I want to try. Some students say it's more personal and more positive: https://t.co/kK7SXoxsWd

@NursePatMacRN I told my students to pull up their fave social media app in class and start searching for global health news, with a very transparent ulterior motive to get class content in their algorithms.
