I am horrified at the violence against Donald J. Trump. My prayers are with him, his family, the Secret Service, first responders, and the attendees at the rally.

FINALLY! A series exposing NP substandard education and how patients are being affected by this nonsense. I have been waiting 8 f***ing years for this to happen. For a spotlight to be shined on this s**t. bloomberg.com/news/features/…

🐕‍🦺NCSuzanne 🇺🇸🇺🇦🇨🇦🇬🇱🏳️‍🌈 They’ve successfully figured out how to interfere with your care and hide behind barriers and forms. They even put up pointless deadlines to reply by, knowing they’re inundating doctors offices with requests. There’s literally no reason to make an end date to an appeal.
