GATOR-ade 🐊 LAG ✞ x Gatorade #GoGators

So incredibly proud of my cousin, Will, for the work he’s put into this. I can’t wait to see it come to fruition. saportareport.com/jazz-is-atlant…

For years, the physicians' lobby has used baseless "patient safety" scare tactics to try and derail the #SAVEact at the #NCGA. Their claims have been tested time & again in states that already passed similar bills -- and to put it bluntly, those dire warnings have fallen flat.

Last day of school vibes. Thanks to all the faculty and staff at Stough Magnet Elementary School for providing an incredible/supportive learning environment for this goofball.

Join us in Concord! Can’t wait.

We had a fantastic time at last night's "Advocacy on the Road" event in Charlotte. Thanks so much to special guests Carla Cunningham & Diamond Staton-Williams for joining us!

When the #SAVEact was introduced in 2023, North Carolina was named the best state to do business; and the worst state for healthcare costs. Want to keep North Carolina at the top? Pass the SAVE Act in 2024. #ncga

Oh man...sad to read about Edward Martin's passing in the latest Business North Carolina. He was always a pleasure to work with - including the conversations we had for his final story printed posthumously in this issue.

If you're looking for #GivingTuesday options, please consider helping out some of the #nurses who kept caring for patients in the aftermath of #Helene, even though they may have lost as much as anyone else.

So glad to hear AANP President-elect Valerie Fuller, PhD, DNP, AGACNP-BC, FNP-BC, FAANP talking about the Woodhull Study at #AANPHPC. Nurses are VASTLY underrepresented in healthcare news reporting. I’ve talked about this study multiple times over the years with NC Nurses Association members.

Thanks to Senator Ralph Hise for introducing S537! Full practice authority for #APRNs will save North Carolina more than $650-million per year while increasing access to quality healthcare. NCNA strongly endorses this bill. ncleg.gov/BillLookUp/202… #NursingForward® #NCGA

Thanks to Rep. Donna McDowell White for introducing H515! Full practice authority for #APRNs will save North Carolina more than $650-million per year while increasing access to quality healthcare. NCNA strongly endorses this bill. ncleg.gov/BillLookUp/202… #NursingForward® #NCGA

The deadline to co-sponsor H514/S537 is 5pm today! Everyone loves the underdog, right? We may not have the deep pockets of the physicians' lobby, but we fully intend to get this important legislation passed for the good of #NorthCarolina patients. #NCGA youtube.com/watch?v=D98IMZ…

Please join us in saying THANK YOU to Senator Ralph Hise, NCNA member Gale Adcock, Sen. Kevin Corbin, NCNA member Rep. Donna McDowell White, dcarrlamb, Rep. Mitchell Setzer, NCNA member Carla Cunningham, and ALL 6️⃣5️⃣ sponsors of the APRN Full Practice Authority bill! #NCGA

Happy #NursesWeek!

“When people of faith and political conservatives see their views mocked, dismissed or ostracized, they begin to see science not as a method but as a tribe they’re not a part of. And once science becomes just another tribe, its authority collapses.” washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/…
