An anon nurse, saying what needs to be said. Like what I'm saying? Don't like what I'm saying? Let me know!

Dr. Patricia Yoder-Wise awarded for a Lifetime of Achievement. Stresses that nurses must be prepared to lead change and keep moving forward.

[Justin Urse @wellRNuCLEVER]

Both AONL CEO and President have touched on the need to balance complying with executive orders while still making progress on “DEI”.

@pnani456 Shorts have lost control. They are still fighting and might get it back. Going to be ugly for them though if more retail figure it out and start jumping in.

This is great. But until the rest of healthcare, the ones without 100K+ of expendable income each year, earn more and have less of a burden for entry. Non-physician labor will be a challenge. Unless docs want to do total care😂?

Abhorred by the shooting at Northside Hospital in Atlanta today. If only there were a gathering of hospital leaders that could commit to making changes that's would keep health workers safe. @tweetAONL @ahahospitals @ANANursingWorld @NNUBonnie #AONL2023 #AHA #NursesWeek

@bhawkesRN in our case, we don't sit on sides but usually just fill in as we come in. But I get what you are saying. Obviously, the mgrs have a different perspective but everyone is pretty cordial.

[Justin Urse @wellRNuCLEVER]

@MAGAKatydid That's not the ANA's job. It's there to represent it's members voices.

[Justin Urse @wellRNuCLEVER]

@MAGAKatydid It isn't free, it shouldn't be. However, the cost is far from prohibitive. I'm a relatively new nurse with a young child and my wife and I are both members.

[Justin Urse @wellRNuCLEVER]

@MAGAKatydid How so? I go to local, state, and national meetings. I listen, I speak. I see the votes. It's all fairly transparent. Do I agree with everything? No. Do I participate because a profession is bigger than any one person? Yes.

[Justin Urse @wellRNuCLEVER]

@OnlyintheICU I'm far from c-suite but I care so I get involved. No formal roles with ANA but I go to local, state, and national meetings. I listen and I talk. Do I agree with what everyone says? No. Does everyone agree with me? No. But, I choose to participate.

[Justin Urse @wellRNuCLEVER]

@MAGAKatydid Conservative/liberal.... ANA doesn't care. They don't think in those terms. Member/non member...that's their language, as it should be. Requirements for membership? RN and pay dues. Not that complicated. No agenda.

[Justin Urse @wellRNuCLEVER]

@OnlyintheICU How is that ANA's fault? Nurses need to own the tools provided to us. I'm part of my hospital's pract council and on the workforce comm. Are there competing priorities at times? Absolutely. Do I still advocate for my colleagues and patients? Absolutely!

[Justin Urse @wellRNuCLEVER]

@bhawkesRN AONE is AHA's nursing subsidiary. ANA is completely independent, 100% RNs.

[Justin Urse @wellRNuCLEVER]

@OnlyintheICU hospitals arent ANA members, RNs are. If the ANA takes a position, it is coming from nurses. As a professional membership org, its bound by bylaws to follow the will of the membership. Want to change the membership, join and encourage like minded RNs to do so also.

[Justin Urse @wellRNuCLEVER]

@OnlyintheICU most issues that led to this are labor issues, not professional issues. While ANA may miss the mark on some labor issues, they do atleast try to address both. CNA/NNU completely ignores professional issues. I'll stick with ANA and continue to try and improve it.

[Justin Urse @wellRNuCLEVER]

@MedscapeNurses that is partially because of how many times a day they are forced to choose between being a good nurse and being a good employee.

[Justin Urse @wellRNuCLEVER]

@lill_gemma while far from reflective of the entire profession, it isn't completely top heavy either. However, far less of the bedside rank and file take the time to make their opinions known. Apathy is your enemy, not the ANA.
