If the American Hospital Association is supporting the idea of supporting working nurses instead of bringing in travelers or temps, we are seeing a sea change in the understanding of nurses' value. May it last--because nurses are the heart of healthcare.

Love this book write-up from a librarian in Cedar Rapids, who offered a list of books for women about breast cancer. I hope that whoever reads my book @algonquinbooks.bsky.social finds it helpful. Being a patient is hard, but if I can do it, so can you!

Really loving SHE'S NOT SORRY by Mary Kubica It's a thriller and the main character is an ICU nurse. The book is so spot on about nursing, which is very cool. See below--she nails one primary cause of burnout. I'm enjoying the mystery, too. And it's set in Chicago, where I met my husband.

The "Healing Newsletter" on Substack: Tylenol-Autism research and how the study Pres Trump referred to is not persuasive. Also, one of the lead authors has a serious conflict of interest. Read the research to know the truth.https://theresabrown.substack.com/p/read-the-research-to-learn-whats

I don't like having a government shutdown, but the Democrats are fighting for Medicaid & health insurance subsidies. As a nurse, I'm 100% behind that. If people can't pay for care they can't access it. We're the richest country in the world. We can do better for our citizens. @indivisible.org

I know there's a lot of gratuitous misery in our country right now, but I'm so relieved my daughter's operation went well. Sometimes focusing on the personal is where we can find the light.

My new "Healing Newsletter"--pictures and stories from my travels over the last year. A friend said he wanted travel stories as a distraction from all the political mess in the U.S. I was happy to oblige. I'll be back to health care soon enough. Here's the link: open.substack.com/pub/theresab...

Last Spring when I was in Spain I caught the flu and was so sick it scared me. I had forgotten to get a flu shot in the rush of leaving the country for 3 months. Never again. I may still get sick after getting the shots, but not nearly as sick as I would be without them.

Sunday Social Media Day of Rest. There's so much upset in our country right now. It's important to stop, step back, and think about how important it is to put good into the world, every single day. Hugs to all nurses and docs working today--you're doing it!

I love this statement. I know nurses disagree about whether is nursing is political, but how can it not be? We see people at their most vulnerable, in need of care, in a society that is making care harder and harder to get. That's a choice that nurses need to push back against. Care is political.

Since a majority of Americans, including Trump voters, support childhood vaccines, can we please stop arguing about the benefits of vaccines. They save kids lives. Done. End of story.
