@nina_mathur @DrTomori @JHUNursing @SafiyyahOkoye This seems to be a #trendingtopic and a major theme on the chat tonight, which speaks to its real, current importance to nurses now. #JHSONPolicy22

@nina_mathur @DrTomori @JHUNursing @SafiyyahOkoye I totally agree with you, Nina. It all starts with us at our various professional institutions. The institutions only have to sponsor our ideas for multi-strategic change.

@DrTomori @JHUNursing @SafiyyahOkoye A6: Nurses should advocate for safe patient ratios to avoid burnout & job dissatisfaction. Mental health & safety must be prioritized & addressed through staffing policies to avoid a diminishing workforce as more nurses leave the profession. https://t.co/uXMv2T1nF4 #JHSONPolicy22

@DrTomori @JHUNursing @SafiyyahOkoye A4: Nurses possess communication expertise & clinical exposure needed to advocate for local policy change through participation in council & board meetings at their place of work, where they can call attention to relevant healthcare issues. https://t.co/p0CdQw6MnT #JHSONPolicy22

@HolaPaolaOlivo Safe staffing ratios have been shown to improve patient outcomes and should be implemented across all healthcare facilities! https://t.co/8MqNO7qylz #JHSONPolicy22

@hopkins_rn @DrTomori @JHUNursing @SafiyyahOkoye Social Media is such a relevant and accessible tool to help advocate for policy change! Platforms like Twitter and tools like #hashtags are perfect for reaching large audiences. https://t.co/QcIZpsaGRM #JHSONPolicy22

@DrTomori @JHUNursing @SafiyyahOkoye A3: Health information can be more accessible and understandable for the public through social media. It allows this specialized field to be more inclusive, and to encourage people to take charge of their health and their community’s health. https://t.co/vltBdSShHU #JHSONPolicy22

My colleagues and I have reached out to multiple state representatives in FL requesting legislation that would require safe nurse-to-patient ratios. Last attempt addressing this issue in FL failed in 2017. #JHSONPolicy22

@DrTomori @JHUNursing @SafiyyahOkoye A1: I wrote a letter to Congressman Tony Cárdenas advocating for support of the Safe Sleep for Babies Act of 2021, which banned the sale of inclined sleepers and crib bumpers to reduce cases of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. https://t.co/JuHw5qhQlN #JHSONPolicy22 #SafeSleep #SIDS
