The next major threat to Americans health may not come from a virus or a shuttered hospital. It may come from how or whether we are allowed to vote #VoteBlueIn2026 @donnagaffney.bsky.social @defendpublichealth.bsky.social @apha.org @elizabethjacobs.bsky.social @physiciandemocracy.medsky.social

It was great to see @thisisourlane.org Advisory Council member @robincogan.bsky.social recently on NBC News. Robin Cogan is a phenomenal and relentless champion for the health and safety of every child. Our country is better for her advocacy.

@nurseteria.bsky.social I included your important Op-Ed in this blog post! Fascinating concept for sure!

relentlessschoolnurse.com/2026/05/13/t... Something extraordinary happened this past week. My granddaughter Nora and I sat down with NBC News' Valerie Castro to talk about something deeply personal, and something urgently important: the power of vaccination.

Thank you to @robincogan.bsky.social and her beautiful granddaughter, Nora, for speaking about the importance of vaccines. @gparents4vaccines.bsky.social know these vaccines are safe, effective and they saved our lives! www.nbcnews.com/now/video/gr...

Another school year draws to a close. I am thinking about you — all of you. The ones in sprawling health suites and the ones in converted storage rooms. The ones managing complex medication schedules, chronic illness plans, and mental health crises. relentlessschoolnurse.com/2026/05/10/t...

Founding members of @gparents4vaccines.bsky.social introduce HEARD immunity in our op ed published in @theprogressivemag.bsky.social to combat vaccine misinformation. What’s your story? @donnagaffney.bsky.social @robincogan.bsky.social progressive.org/op-eds/the-n...

There is already a shortage of nurse educators and primary care providers. The Trump administration just made it much worse. Read @robincogan.bsky.social blog and call your US representative and senators‼️ relentlessschoolnurse.com/2026/05/03/t...

Not the way we imagined the country would be celebrating Nurses' Week 2026. Nursing will always be a profession, and no "rule change" undermines that fact. relentlessschoolnurse.com/2026/05/03/t...

Last week the words did not come to me like they typically do...here is my story: relentlessschoolnurse.com/2026/04/30/t...

@gparents4vaccines.bsky.social is recruiting storytelling grandparents to share what childhood was like without vaccines. Any #Granfluencers who want to learn more about our grassroots movement! relentlessschoolnurse.com/2026/04/21/t...

This blog post is a celebration of school nurses who were given an impossible task and turned it into something remarkable. Let's be honest about what we ask of school nurses. relentlessschoolnurse.com/2026/04/19/t...

So proud of @gparents4vaccines.bsky.social Executive Director Kim Boller for her impressive representation of the core work of GFV at @apha.org week in DC, celebrating Public Health Week: www.medicaleconomics.com/view/health-... @medicaleconomics.bsky.social Bravo for an EXCELLENT article!

💯 👇🏻👇🏻With the current attack on public health, school nurses are a last line of defense. Every school needs a School Nurse, they are not replaceable with an unlicensed aide.

Thank you to Jonathan and Sam for amplifying Grandparents for Vaccines as there are now 1518 measles cases across the US (measles was eliminated in 2000) Your coverage helps elevate trusted voices and reinforces the urgent need to protect children through MMR. There Is Nothing Just About Measles!

Want to hear the scoop about what measles or polio was really like? Ask you grandparents because they lived through the time before vaccines were available. @mariashriver.bsky.social @gparents4vaccines.bsky.social

The Relentless School Nurse: Sustaining the Profession We Inherited We inherited a profession that other school nurses built. Now we are responsible for sustaining it. But that is not something most of us understand when we first become school nurses. relentlessschoolnurse.com/2026/04/02/t...

Let me just say that I truly admire the legendary Bruce Springsteen. He’s an incredibly talented artist, an actual American patriot, a fighter for democracy and a good human being.

They cut Meals on Wheels for seniors, doctors for the VA, and food for American children - but send billions of taxpayer dollars to the Middle East for an unnecessary war of choice.

@meghanrabbitt.bsky.social Your new book is a lifeline for women across the lifespan. Thank you for devoting 3 years & hundreds of interviews to bring a completely new dimension to women's health. relentlessschoolnurse.com/2026/03/04/t...

The costs of this Iran war debacle will likely be more than the cost of extending the ACA health insurance subsidies. If you asked Americans, which do you want: another war in the Middle East or lower health care costs at home, is the margin 90 to 10? 95 to 5?

Pam Bondi has been a complete and total failure at her job. The Epstein survivors showed more courage just by being in that room than she did under oath. She refused to answer questions and chose complicity. America deserves better.
