Yes!!!!

The evidence is clear. NPs deliver outstanding outcomes at less healthcare costs. In order to improve population health outcomes across the US, all states need to grant NPs full practice authority as 80 million Americans lack access to care. @PresidentAANP @AANP_NEWS @osunursing

"I've got this." "I can do it." "I'm too blessed to be stressed!" Self-affirmation is proven to increase brain activity related to self-worth, self-competence & positive thinking. Say it 10 times out loud & see how it gives you & your day a BIG boost! @wellbuckeyes

Now we wait for ISIS to attack the US! It’s all on Biden and his cronies

I'm old enough to remember when polio ripped through the globe and put my six-year-old friends into iron lungs. We dutifully lined up at school to get polio shots (without the howling of governors or anti-vaxxers). And we eradicated polio. Why has saving lives become political?

In light of a disappointing lack of action during the 87th Legislature, 16 organizations representing over 300k nurses in TX called on @GovAbbott to address issues facing nurses during the upcoming special session. texasnp.org/news/571952/Nu…

@dfreedman7 Thank you @dfreedman7! We all play a vital role in caring for patients

APPs are a critical part of the healthcare team. Most academic centers could not function without them. They help with resident & attending workload. In my world, APPs help neurologists see more patients. They lead clinics for things like ketogenic diet for epilepsy & headaches.

Nurses were thanked profusely and told how valuable they were, but when it came to addressing the nursing shortage, workplace violence, or helping Texans access care, the legislature failed to act. Our and @TNPAustin's press release with 16 nurse groups. texasnurses.org/news/568878/St…

Today, @TNPAustin, @TexasNursesAssn , and 15 other Texas nursing organizations issued the following statement on the 87th Legislative Session: texasnp.org/news/568840/St… #txlege #Nurses #Patients

While other states are removing barriers to care, Texas has become one of the least competitive states in the country for attracting and retaining critically needed APRNs, unnecessarily leaving Texas patients without #MoreAccessMoreOptions for care. #TxLege

May the House & Human Services Committee move HB 1524 forward in the Senate. Important for patient care, decreasing regulations, and promoting equity. Please Senator @loiskolkhorst let’s make this happen soon!

The mental health care system in Texas does not have the capacity to meet the full range of consumer needs. APRNs can help! Texas needs to pass #HB2029 for #MoreAccessMoreOptions #TxLege @NAMITexas

Let’s do this! Improvement in PNP education

The physical, social, and economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has worsened the #mentalhealth of many Texans and exacerbated existing inequities in access to care. #TxLege needs to pass #HB2029 for #MoreAccessMoreOptions! @NAMITexas

@Texans4HCAccess More like Texas physicians stand in the way of health care access and choice!

Texas has a health provider shortage 📢crisis‼ Blame overregulation. Pass #HB2029 for #MoreAccessMoreOptions!
