@NORML @CADCA There has to be some middle ground that can be reached regarding legalizing marijuana federally and decriminalization for possession. Used for many prophylactic and medicinal purposes, I urge both parties to be open minded to each other's views. #nurs638

Getting Wrecked was eye opening to just how powerful addiction really is and how we as healthcare professionals need to meet the patient where they are not where we want them to be. #nurs638

@amandapat3 @DrKimSue I agree, this required reading was very eye opening to the complexities women face with addiction and the consequences of incarceration.

@WillH39875216 So true, we so often neglect to recognize all the steps required to enact a law #nurs638

[Rachael @renewma4]

Getting Wrecked by @DrKimSue was an inspirational and eye opening piece. What I appreciated most was how the book humanizes addiction. People who use drugs can still have meaningful lives and be productive members of society. #nurs638

Getting Wrecked by @DrKimSue was my favorite read in NURS 638 as it really highlighted the sheer complexity of the opioid crisis especially the disadvantage and stigma primarily against women and mental health in these circumstances that I never knew about #nurs638

[Erin Boyd @ErinBoydNP_S]

Getting Wrecked by @DrKimSue was eye-opening. I have family members with addiction/mental health/incarceration histories and it has never been explained to me in this way. It was a powerful message that needs to be heard. #nurs638

#nurs638#TracyGnadinger.Social media as a tool to disseminate research is on the rise. 21 % of researchers are using social medium to promote their findings and the numbers are expected to increase in the future.

Interventions to combat the opioid epidemic are available in our community #rva. Learning and spreading awareness about fentanyl test strips as a way to decrease opioid overdoses is imperative! #nurs621 We just need to have more dialogue.

[Rachael @renewma4]

As fentanyl overdoses are continuing to rise in Virginia, why not make fentanyl testing strips available to users? Having these available in public areas allows for more awareness. @health_brigade @cfrichmondva #nurs638

[Amie @Amesrichmondva]

The government can lead the fight against the opioid crisis: @POTUS is investing $104 million in rural communities to expand treatment and prevention @TheJusticeDept will include rural communities in their $340 million plan to fight the crisis. #nurs638 #EBP

[InVivo Nursing @InVivoNursing]

.drug check strips provide an easy & effective way to test for substances like fentanyl. With the rise in overdose deaths due to fentanyl, utilizing cost effective test strips with the support of community partners can make a difference in VA @cfrichmondva @caritas_va #nurs638

@GovAbbott @WHO #nurse638 please feel free to review the World Health Organization's recommendations on how abortion access can also be a basic human right.

[Rachael @renewma4]

@GovAbbott Restricting abortion access creates differences in health equity amongst your constituents #nurse638. "Lack of safe, affordable, and timely" access for abortions can lead to unsafe abortions and maternal mortality according to the WHO.

What would Jesus do?

Pretty sure he wouldn't deny access to PrEP because sinners deserve to get HIV.
