Thanks to @Axios for having @ncnurses on today's lineup. The incredible speakers featured in these conversations tackled some of the biggest challenges in healthcare. It's vital for #nursing to be involved in all of these solutions. #NursingForwardĀ® youtube.com/watch?v=iJ0SpNdh…

We got dozens of messages during the height of the pandemic in 2020 from singers, actors, politicians, and other noteworthy folks…this was easily one of my favorites. Congrats to Christina and best of luck for a successful mission!
Throwback to this moment from Christina Koch, who is making history today with NASA as part of the Artemis II mission. She delivered a heartfelt message directly to NC's Nurses amid National Nurses Week 2020, recognizing the dedication our nurses have to moving Nursing ForwardĀ®.

Need to pick 2: Ashton Jeanty, Jaylen Warren, Michael Carter (& potentially Devin Neal, if he magically gets healthy). Hate this list & know for a fact that whoever I put on the bench will outscore my starters. But gimme any/all advice - good or bad. #FantasyFootball

We are excited to share that @USofCare is supporting #APRN Full Practice Authority in #NorthCarolina! That brings us to 2ļøāƒ£7ļøāƒ£ organizations outside the nursing profession wanting to cut outdated APRN red tape. The only opponent of this legislation is the physicians' lobby. #NCGA
