Cyclorphine is a dangerous synthetic opioid that has been appearing in toxicology reports. It’s incredibly potent; tiny amounts can lead to an overdose. I put together a short PSA video to help break it down!

@allenanalysis And she had planned to immediately apply to become a US citizen after her required years under Green Card status. Her husband will be left alone to care for their disabled daughter and his 93 year old father with dementia, and she will be alone in Nicaragua. It’s so unfair. 😩
@allenanalysis Now she is suddenly facing having to leave her daughters and husband and return to Nicaragua after 30 years living legally in the US! Simply because she retired from working at the UN under this administration.
@LeahRemini It’s such an inspiration to people like her to see from your story that you can achieve the furtherance of your education at a later stage of life. Best wishes for a very successful future!
@LeahRemini Congratulations! So happy for you that you took this huge step forward for yourself and your education. My grandmother was absolutely brilliant but was not allowed to go to college because she was a girl. I always felt her sorrow at this denial of herself and her talents.

Also Fishworks where I ordered fish and chips with mushy peas and gathered the courage to try the mushy peas which looked different than any I had before seen served in London, and they were actually amazing, as was the fish and chips
When healthcare feels overwhelming, look for one concrete thing you can do.
Right now, the Department of Education has opened a public comment period on a proposed rule that would remove nursing from the “professional degree” classification.
That sounds technical. It isn’t.
If this change goes through, nurses and advanced practice providers could lose access to certain federal loan programs that make advanced training financially possible. That affects who can afford to become a nurse practitioner. It affects who stays in the workforce. It affects access to care.
As a reconstructive microsurgeon, I cannot care for the volume of women I serve without the nurses and nurse practitioners on my team. They are not assistants. They are licensed, credentialed professionals practicing at the highest level of their training. They are the backbone of American healthcare.
If you care about access to safe, high quality care, this matters.
The public comment period is open and closes on March 2nd.
Here is how to leave a comment. It takes five minutes:
1. Go to https://t.co/hyJpnuZYJh
2. Type into search “reimagining and improving student education”
3. Click “Submit a Formal Comment”
4. Write a short statement. It can be simple. For example:
“I support recognizing nursing as a professional degree. Limiting access to federal loan programs will worsen workforce shortages and reduce access to care.”
5. Enter your information and click submit
You do not need to be a doctor or a nurse to comment. You just need to care.
Small actions matter. Words matter. Please take a few minutes to support recognizing nursing for what it is: a profession.
