@canadanurses We also need to advocate more for insurance companies to provide coverage for RN psychotherapy. Lots of us highly skilled RN’s out there, but our clients cannot claim benefits coverage.

These astronauts are just a balm: impossibly cheery, down to earth, committed, decent. They are clearly extraordinary people, and yet reassuringly normal. At a time when the news is dominated by people who are either cruel or corrupt or insane or incompetent or all of the above, they remind us not all is lost.

I don’t want to connect my coffee machine to the wifi network. I don’t want to share the file with OneDrive. I don’t want to download an app to check my car’s fluid levels. I don’t want to scan a QR code to view the restaurant menu. I don’t want to let Google know my location before showing me the search results. I don’t want to include a Teams link on the calendar invite. I don’t want to pay 50 different monthly subscription fees for all my software. I don’t want to upgrade to TurboTax platinum plus audit protection. I don’t want to install the Webex plugin to join the meeting. I don’t want to share my car’s braking data with the actuaries at State Farm. I don’t want to text with your AI chatbot. I don’t want to download the Instagram app to look at your picture. I don’t want to type in my email address to view the content on your company’s website. I don’t want text messages with promo codes. I don’t want to leave your company a five-star Google review in exchange for the chance to win a $20 Starbucks gift card. I don’t want to join your exclusive community in the metaverse. I don’t want AI to help me write my comments on LinkedIn. I don’t even want to be on LinkedIn in the first place.

I just want to pay for a product one time (and only one time), know that it’s going to work flawlessly, press 0 to speak to an operator if I need help, and otherwise be left alone and treated with some small measure of human dignity, if that’s not too much to ask anymore.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: We represent the incredible regions of our beautiful country, and we are here for one reason: our nation—our beloved Canada—is under threat.

It is an economic threat, but it’s also a threat to our values of decency and inclusion. It’s a threat to our sovereignty and our very future as a nation. The threat comes, of course, from the president of the United States—a convicted felon and known predator. He’s threatening massive tariffs to try and break us as a people. But the threat is also being driven by the hate algorithms of oligarchs like Elon Musk. And there is the threat from people in our own country who would sell out our birthright to appease the gangster class from Mar-a-Lago.

That is not going to happen.

Too many people in Ldn West have been failed by the gaps in our fragmented mental health system. I called on the Ford gov't to support the #ONDP motion to include mental health as part of our universal healthcare plan. #MentalHealth care is healthcare! #LdnOnt #OnHealth #onpoli

Nurses are naturally angered by the assault on human rights of a tiny minority of Albertans at the heart of this policy, and the hurt and damage to our fellow citizens it is bound to cause.

Dear @fordnation, @SylviaJonesMPP and our entire Provincial Government.

I've written you this video essay—recorded while my child underwent surgery—only after 36 hours of sleep deprivation and social maneuvering to get our healthcare system to pay attention to my daughter's acute appendicitis.

This would be unacceptable if my daughter were unique—but she's not. Her case of appendicitis is as routine and standard as emergency surgeries can get. And if we botch it so badly on something so straightforward, then all Ontarians should be very, very concerned about our future health prospects.

In my anger from the last 24 hours, it's tempting to blame @StMarysGenHosp and @grhospitalkw. Both hospitals did an atrocious job of prioritizing care for my daughter. But I know that blaming these institutions, and especially the healthcare professionals within them, would be misplaced. These are good, hardworking, caring people, who have been trapped in the impossible place of running emergency departments that are so wholly under capacity there's simply no way for them to meet their mandate.

That is unacceptable.

For as long as I've been alive, @ONThealth has provided the healthcare system that we all know and hate. During the triage at Grand River Hospital—I told the triage nurse that I was going to very publicly share our experience.

Do you know what her response was? "Good. Please do!" Was her reply. She's spent much of her career raising the alarm of how our emergency rooms are failing our citizens and her—along with her colleagues—have been entirely ignored.

For our children and for our seniors. For our doctors and our nurses.

Do better. For all of us.

Research by @CCLdotORG found teams with high degrees of psychological safety reported higher levels of performance & lower levels of interpersonal conflict. They also found that senior leadership teams reported the greatest differences in their perceived levels of psychological safety: it means that senior teams are the place where creative problem solving is most likely to be squashed & teams fail to collaborate & innovate together to their full potential. They suggest 8 steps for leaders to help create a more psychologically safe workplace:
1. Make psychological safety an explicit priority
2. Facilitate everyone speaking up
3. Establish norms for how failure is handled
4. Create space for new ideas (even wild ones)
5. Embrace productive conflict
6. Pay close attention and look for patterns
7. Make an intentional effort to promote dialogue
8. Celebrate wins

When staff nurses feel appreciated, seen, heard, valued & respected & are part of a healthy team, they are less likely to leave despite the enticing agency double pay rates. It’s kind of like a good marriage #nursingshortage #psychologicalsafety #mentalhealth #retention #onhealth
