ProPublica distributed notecards to homeless people in Albuquerque and asked them about objects they had lost when their encampments were hauled away. Here's what they said. https://t.co/mLDx1CghE4 @nicolesantacruz
Thank you @RepTimKennedy for standing with union nurses just days into your term by cosponsoring H.R. 2530, our federal RN-to-Patient ratios bill!
As you said on the House floor, let’s get it done!
The dangers related to lost knowledge and skill from increased tech restructuring are very real. Situations such as this are not unforeseeable. Health care systems have an obligation to take planning and preparation seriously!
"Something will be missed," a nurse at Ascension Borgess in Kalamazoo says. “It’s a big safety concern...to have the physicians write out the orders [on paper by hand.] I literally had to show a resident what an order form is. And they said, ‘What do I do with this?’”
Hi all, this is Ady’s wife, Rachael. I’m devastated to share the news that Ady has died from complications of ALS. You probably knew Ady as a healthcare activist. But more importantly he was a wonderful dad and my life partner for 18 years. [1/4]
Tomorrow, @SenSanders and @HELPCmteDems are hosting the first-ever hearing exploring the issue of #SafeStaffing ratios!
Tune in at 9 a.m. ET to hear NNU and @nynurses President Nancy Hagans, RN testify.

We are proud to be celebrating the 10th anniversary of @GlobalNursesU!
Despite differences in language, culture, & health care systems, nurses around the world face many of the same issues. Together, we can take global, collective action to protect our patients. #NursePower120
Safe nurse-to-patient ratios mean safer patient care and improved nurse retention.
Union nurses are joining Sen. @BernieSanders to speak out about why it’s critical that Congress passes federal #SafeStaffing standards – improving care in every hospital across the country!
LIVE: Join me, Sen. @CoryBooker, striking New Jersey nurses, and @nationalnurses for a livestream on addressing the nursing crisis. https://t.co/NyYEK8ZdBH
Sarah DiGregorio - the author of "Taking Care: The Story of Nursing and Its Power to Change Our World" discusses the power of the nurse-patient relationship, and how poor nurse-to-patient ratios can be a matter of life or death. https://t.co/UxxXwFwJMs
⚠️“Alarmingly trending in WRONG DIRECTION”—Nevada’s entire congressional delegation is begging CDC to do more to fight a potentially lethal drug-resistant fungus causing the largest outbreaks in the country at Las Vegas hospitals and long-term care facilities. The Nevada State Public Health Laboratory has detected mutations in the fungus correlated with drug resistance—ie infections “will become not only more difficult to contain, but also increasingly difficult to treat,” the letter to CDC says, which NV “may need additional federal support to fight this outbreak.” #Nevada #CandidaAuris

Our employers have failed to protect us time and time again. #WorkplaceViolence is NOT a normal part of the job.
Together, we can pass federal legislation to #ProtectNurses and other health care workers from workplace violence.
As the largest shareholders of @HCAhealthcare, the Frist family is accountable for the hospital's unsafe patient care conditions. Nurses are here at the Frist Gala to make sure they hear our concerns!
It's time for HCA to put #PatientsOverProfits.
