What a ride it's been @ThinkRevive. So excited that one of my favorite projects -- ever -- is about to come out into the world for @RWJF. In the fight for health equity, it's not about what will make a difference, but who. shiftnursing.com/whocares #WhoCaresAboutHealthEquity

One of the arguments for scaling back the ACA Medicaid expansion is that enrollees are "able-bodied" and don't need health care. 44% of Medicaid expansion enrollees have a chronic condition.

Hello. Today I'm a Supreme Court reporter. My story on the affirmative action ruling and how it will affect medical schools is up and will be updated: statnews.com/2023/06/29/sup…

I learned so much reporting this story and hearing from nurses such as @whitf037 who overcame a challenging childhood on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation to become the experienced psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner she is today. shiftnursing.com/whocares/

"I’ve felt I’ve had a target on my back." "They will just fire you." "No one is going to do a damned thing." These are just a few of the sentiments shared by nurses of different racial and ethnic backgrounds when interviewed by @statnews about experiences with racism, how to make nursing more inclusive, and whether they think change is possible. This article follows the release of an @RWJF-funded study on racism in the nursing profession, which underscores the mental health toll that may be forcing some from the profession. It also points to the essential and urgent need to disrupt racism in the healthcare system.

The latest survey on racism in nursing is out from @RWJF / @NORCNews. But of course this issue goes well beyond the data, and @ushamcfarling did it justice with real stories that tell the painful lived experience and history of being a nurse of color in this country.

@ANANursingWorld Y'all aware this link says the event is in November of last year?

@jacasiegel Leaves are my dad’s no 1 enemy, so I got him these giant green Hulk style leaf mitts to pick up the giant piles so the process of shuffling leaves around the yard will go 10X faster! Bonus: he thought they were hilarious 😂

Since no one knows what to get their dad for Christmas, please use this thread to share what you got your dad to give people ideas.

Many Americans with intellectual and developmental disabilities receive care from family members, but many families have not made long-term plans for when those caregivers age, @sclaudwhitehead reports. Read the story on KHN: khn.org/news/article/a… 📹editing by @hnorms

Everyone enjoying “fall back?” If the Senate got its way — and the bill they passed in March became law — today would have been the last-ever “fall back.” But instead, the bill for permanent daylight saving quietly died in the House. I got curious how that happened. (Thread.)
