WSNA Executive Director @davkeep.bsky.social will step down August 2026. "This is the craziest and busiest job I have ever had. I truly love it. This is the highlight of my almost 45 years as a nurse. But it’s time to move on to the next stage of my life." Read his letter in the #WashingtonNurse.

Nurses associations in WA, OR, CA, & HI stand by our #westcoasthealthalliance leaders. Healthcare must be grounded in science, not partisan ideology. Nurses stand ready to protect our patients from the erosion of trust in our federal health agencies. @governorferguson.bsky.social @wsna.bsky.social

We are excited to announce that we have reached a settlement in the lawsuit that restores webpages and data that nurses, other healthcare providers, and scientists need to do their work.

“This settlement represents a win for nurses, science, and patients,” said WSNA president @justin-gill.bsky.social. “When clinicians, researchers, and advocates join together in pushing back against harmful policies by the administration, we can make a meaningful impact for our patients.”

Resistance against harmful policies can often yield effective results. We must continue to hold our values close and push back when necessary. @wsna.bsky.social

I suspect no one who voted for Trump thought he would let Musk invade their privacy. Right now, inside the Dept of Ed, the world’s richest man is rifling through 45M people’s private student loan accounts and feeding the data into AI. www.aft.org/press-releas... apnews.com/article/trum...

The secretary of HHS oversees the CDC, the FDA, the NIH, Head Start, and other vital government programs that support Americans’ public health, safety and well-being. RFK Jr. is unfit for the job. Tell your senator to vote NO on his confirmation.

Thank you @meiselasb.bsky.social & @meidastouch.com for lifting up nursing voices! RFK Jr. is a threat to public health & unfit to serve as HHS secretary. Tell your senators to OPPOSE his nomination! @nursesforamerica.bsky.social @protectourcare.org www.meidasplus.com/p/meidas-hel...

More than 75 Nobel Prize winners have signed a letter urging senators not to confirm RFK Jr. The letter marks the first time in recent memory that Nobel laureates have banded together against a Cabinet choice. But Kennedy is a threat they could not ignore, one said. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/09/h...
