I am happy to see this statement from American Nurses Association. We cannot tolerate or be silent about #racism in nursing. Indiana State U

This post is messed up.

And it will have few repercussions because of the privilege afforded to the two posters as white men.

You have an intern bemoaning being checked on an order followed with an attending doubling down, worsening a bad take and attempting to normalize it.

'The requirement of standardized test scores provides the “fairest admissions policy for disadvantaged applicants.”

Common sense says this isn't true given especially how expensive standardized test prep courses are- disadvantaged applicants usually cannot afford these.

Agreed. Harm reduction is a critical nursing intervention.

Happy Eid 🤲🏾📿☪️✨💫

My article for the American Nurse discusses nursing and the diversity innovation paradox, which states that underrepresented groups with the potential to be prolific innovators frequently don’t receive support within their institutions to move forward.

It is heartbreaking to have to say this in 2024 - we must believe “patients” and co-create treatment plans with people we support in healing. People who experience #chronicillness are experts in their diseases. Healthcare should be collaborative.

Sharing this again. It is so important. I also want to add my friend TheSeatedNurse. She is a fierce nurse and is one of the first nurses to complete nursing school in a wheelchair. She is a strong advocate for disability justice.

Earlier?” This paper by Adeiyewunmi (Ade) Osinubi, MD et al

“Race pathologization is the practice of attributing poor health outcomes to an individual race rather than to the sociopolitical factors that influence such outcomes and perpetuating false ideas that health disparities are due to biological differences.”

“The idea that racial health disparities exist because of biological differences between racial groups perpetuates a tradition of *race pathologization*.”

We warned you of a genocide and yall called us every slur in the book, came for our jobs, defamed us and yet here we are…

Timeline Cleanse 🌷Nature is Healing.

33,000 people killed
200 humanitarian workers killed
We need a sustained ceasefire now in #Gaza

When a patient speaks up about a 👎 healthcare encounter, they’re “qualified” to do so bc they are an expert in their experience.

If they generalize, take it w/ a grain of salt. But to say their view doesn’t count if they’re not a clinical prof’l? Yikes.

Now, apply widely…

Happy Friday yall 💜

In the face of the continuing war on 'woke', the time has come for us to build our own infrastructure to save our hard-fought civil rights advances, and any prospect we have for a multiracial democracy.

SAME!!! Nursing comes from communities, not hospitals. It was forced into hospitals in the mid-1850s because MDs wanted handmaidens, admins wanted cheap labor. Even then, it took over a century for the majority of nurses to end up working in hospitals. We fought it all the way.
