Eliquis,a medication that reduces the risk of strokes & blood clots in pts with afib,can cost up to $525(60day supply of 5mg tablets)! Prescription medications need to be more affordable,so pts can manage & prevent chronic diseases! @AccessibleMeds @pfizer @bmsnews #nurs638policy

@Kle0496 @AccessibleMeds @pfizer @bmsnews I love to hear MDs report that pt's are "non-compliant" b/c it allows me to propose the question of "why?" & many pt's will report that they couldn't afford their meds. Is non compliance the real issue or is America's healthcare system the real problem? #nurs638policy

@Haudricourma @GlennYoungkin @plain_language I've seen too many people lose their life to acute illnesses, due to a healthcare system that is biased && lacks accessibility. Ppl are afraid to come even go to their PCPs. What can we do to get what should be a basic human right, to everyone in America? #nurs638policy

I found the book "Getting Wrecked" by @DrKimSue the most eye-opening of the semester. It focused on substance abuse in women. It highlighted history, trends, and society's failures to support these women. #nurs638policy

I enjoyed reading the ethics case about health justice after incarceration. Using a case, commentary and presenting best practices helped me become more knowledgeable as a future NP. Correctional to community based care has a long way to go! Thank you @pugleesa #nurs638policy

@kcookzRN @pugleesa I also enjoyed reading this case! I found it to be both informative && practical, which are 2 things I look for from ppl who are trying to enact or impact change. I believe that ideas are just ideas, if no one can put them into practice. @pugleesa did just that. #nurs638policy

@TiffanyLordRN @DrKimSue I completely agree! I found it amazing that she even had the courage to write such a great book! It's hard enough to expose society's failures but to expose them as a woman & to do it with such grace, speaks to
@DrKimSue character. Great Read! #nurs638policy

Mental illness has affected over 49 million ppl living in the US. Our current tx methods may no longer be 100% effective. Psychedelic reform could be the missing link to helping these individuals. Is it worth a shot to try something new? @AADCouncil @SporingCompany #nurs638policy

“The opioid epidemic is largely iatrogenic, and the
healthcare system has a responsibility to support actions that could prevent addiction and save lives." POWERFUL! This journal article was practical & packed with useful info! @Nurs621 & Amy Cook well done. #nurs638policy

Grad school is HARD! But I've found some joy in my health policy class. & honestly, I didn't believe that health policy could be interesting but I've learned that without health policy we have no health care system. Who knew!! @Nurs621

The rising cost of RXs is a public health concern that requires the immediate attention of ALL stakeholders. Regulating product hopping and increasing access to generic equivalents will help protect patients. @pfizer @VAHthInnovation #nurs638policy

@city_rcso @RichmondCity_HD Higher marijuana availability raises a concern for the pediatric & adolescent population. State legislation 4 legalizing or decriminalizing marijuana must hardwire provisions 2 limit the access and availability of marijuana to youths. #nurs638policy

John Hopkins has dedicated $17 million in funding related to Psychedelic Assisted Therapy. Their current research is already curing & saving lives! Will you jump on the bandwagon & help rid the psychedelic stigma? #nurs638policy

@PJK4brainhealth @JohnSununu How can we combat this issue within rural & minority populations? Education can't be the only key, when lack of resources plays a huge role as well. I found a website about the "digital divide", I think it deserves some looking into. https://t.co/rjlJDi309A #nurs638policy
