As of today I have 100 days until my last day of classes! I’ll still have a few hundred clinical hours to complete but I see the light at the end of the tunnel! I’m so grateful for this opportunity to go back to school and become a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner
I haven't made any decisions about whether I will run for office again, but regardless of my future it's a violation of representation of people in my neighborhood that they are cut off from their community.
@WAAFLCIO@lebrown1one @aprilr_sims We’ve got to get #HB1806 across the finish line. Please call @lauriejinkins2 and insist this bill make it to the floor for a vote. All workers, including leg staff, deserve a union. #waleg
This redistricting is looking suspicious. Interesting that the line was drawn less than a mile from my house kicking me out of my district and moving me to the 12th? Someone is afraid of me running again.
Just overheard a ER doctor tell a patient “If you are concerned about C02 levels from a face mask, then our climate crises is really gonna make you lose your mind”
BREAKING! The Worker Protection Act (HB 1076) has passed the House! This is a huge and long needed step to ensure that worker rights on the job are protected. #waleg
It was such a pleasure to join the WSNA 2021 Advocacy Camp to speak about how to be a nurse advocate and my experience running for office! There were nearly 700 nurses and students attending! We also were able to listen to Governor Inslee as a guest speaker!
Today I was able to receive my first dose of the COVID vaccine. I did this not just for me, but for my son, my parents and my community. The only path we have through this pandemic is by having a successful vaccine.
We are still learning though. While we know this will reduce the risk of serious illness we are not sure if this will also reduce transmission, but I am hopeful that this too will be the case. It isn’t just about reducing death but also reducing morbidity/long term complications.
