@AmberWeakley2 @FCC @comcast Totally agree! Big tele-communication companies are more set on amping up service speed to existing customers than to expand their coverage areas to those in higher need. Thankful to live in a rural area where the power co-op supplier made internet possible. #nurs638

@nursemichelle19 @ACPinternists @DeathwDignity Having worked oncology and in-patient hospice early in my career, I support your views wholeheartedly. The suffering in dying some patients endure is cruel and unfathomable. #nurs638

@Morgan2022b @RNsbs1216 @_cpsa_ I couldn’t agree with you more! Having some experience years ago advocating on the hill, this is most definitely the case. Having met with many legislators and their staff, it became apparent who was taking notes and asking questions.

@emroe00 @kellyhughesrn @DrKimSue It is unfortunate that in 2022 women are still experiencing implicit bias! Even in today’s society women have more hats than ever. Unfortunately, half the problem is, we do know better but current society norms make it harder to speak to the struggle.

@DrKimSue Getting wrecked is a call to action for healthcare professionals, as it highlights the systemic issues resulting from opioid use disorder, particularly those faced by women. It’s blunt truths are needed in today’s society. #nurs638

Health care is commonly viewed as a capitalist system, reeling in large profits without consideration for health equality. Providers hold the power to change that by participating in the governmental process, while utilizing social media platforms for support #nurs638 @Nurs621

Telemedicine has been successful in meeting people where they are for greater access to improved outcomes in treating opioid use disorder. What is VA doing about offering this service to more people in need?@JasonMiyaresVA @StopOpioidOD #nurs638

@GovKathyHochul Since you’re investing in schools, why not also invest in improving mental health access for children and their families? Mental illness is more prevalent post-COVID and many children and families are without resources. Hire mental health professionals. #nurs638

80% of US counties lack buprenorphine-waivered practitioners. However, 90% of Americans live within 5 miles of a community pharmacy. Clinical pharmacist have shown great success in treating OUD. Why are we not utilizing this valuable resource? @ASHPOfficial @bamhtf #nurs638

@BobbyScott Congressman Scott, ACOG has long ago stated that hormonal birth control pills should be OTC. What are your thoughts on making this a reality for women seeking affordable,accessible birth control prevention? #nurs638 https://t.co/To7EGU9hyW
