Hey y'all! i go by olive (she/her), from the US. currently in my #demonslayer and #saikikusuonosainan phase, but definitely gonna be posting about #anime more broadly, #movies.
Ask me about:
my endless love for kung fu panda 2 (oogway my role model) and my undying hatred for ad astra (which nobody watched, rightfully so)
I'm also a college student interested in learning more about #tech, #ux, #healthcare, #nursing, #journalism. i'm new to how mastodon works, but feel free to message(?) me (edit: or @ me ig, however that works) and i'm looking forward to getting to know the community!
Happy birthday to founder of modern nursing, social reformer, statistician, data visualization innovator & writer Florence Nightingale (1820 – 1910)!
Nightingale earned the nickname "The Lady with the Lamp" during the Crimean War, from a phrase used by The Times, describing her as a “ministering angel” making her solitary rounds of the hospital at night with “a little lamp in her hand”. 🧵1/n

"The problem is that the Civil Service Commission allows only licensed nurses to work in the health sector in the government... I requested the PRC to give temporary licenses for three years if they have graduated nursing to work in the government,” Herbosa explained.
--Ahhhh.. No. Licensing is not the problem why #Filipino nurses migrate abroad. It's the low pay, poor working conditions, etc.
First shift back at work today, and in at the deep end we went with an emergency situation within hours. I handled it quickly and calmly, despite having been away for over six months, so I’m very proud of myself.
Currently sat eating my lunch / expressing milk for my own baby and trying not to think about how much I miss her. I will cuddle her extra tight tonight.
American pioneering nurse Clara Barton who founded the American Red Cross was born #OTD in 1821.
She was a hospital nurse in the American Civil War, a teacher, and a patent clerk. Barton is noteworthy for doing humanitarian work and civil rights advocacy at a time before women had the right to vote. She was inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame in 1973. via @wikipedia
TITLE: Healthcare Professional Associations and Blue/Red States
A topic that has been on my mind periodically -- the near inevitability that healthcare professional associations will be splitting into two or more factions in the coming few years. Yet I have not seen any discussion of this to-date.
I cast no shade upon associations (ACA, APA, NASW, AMA, etc.) and I do not have any particular current behavior of these associations in mind. In fact -- most associations have been publicly supportive of LBGTQ+, transgender, and reproductive choice rights; and sometimes immigrant and religious rights. Instead, I'm looking at two areas of likely concern:
a) Ethical codes versus law
b) Financial concerns
Most healthcare associations that I'm aware of have professional ethical code standards promoting client self-determination, and require equal treatment of all clients/patients. A large number of "red states" have recently passed or started enforcing any number of laws discriminating against transgender youth and adults, the LGBTQ+ community, immigrants, abortion and other reproductive rights practices, and sometimes alternative religions. The exact details and rationale vary by state.
This all creates a major dilemma for healthcare practitioners in these red states. Do they:
Take an ethical stand and risk their licenses and/or jail time?
Protect their livelihoods and risk violating current professional association ethics rules?
Flee to "blue states"?
This all also creates dilemmas for professional associations. Do they:
Fight red state laws, and risk legal consequences for themselves and their members?
Enforce ethical practice standards in red states or turn a blind eye to discriminatory ethical code violations of members in red states in order to not make waves and maintain membership roles?
Change (water down) ethical codes in order to continue functioning in both blue and red states? Perhaps develop state-specific ethical codes? (Some ethical codes already contain possible escape clauses about functioning within the laws of each state.)
There are strong legal and ethical considerations in all of the above options.
Then -- perhaps -- there are financial concerns (although I hope money is not the deciding factor). The PGA Tour spent the past few years vilifying the human rights record of the Saudis and ostracizing golfers who joined the LIV Tour. Now they are merging, leading to charges of sportswashing and money trumping all else. I assume that healthcare provider associations operate differently (right?), but nonetheless find myself wondering which option would cost them more in terms of money, membership, and power:
a) Maintaining a strong emphasis on current non-discriminatory ethical codes, thereby causing an exodus of red state members and the creation of competing associations with ethical codes compatible with red state discriminatory laws? Or
b) Watering down ethical codes, not enforcing ethical codes, and/or claiming "following state law" trumps all else; thereby causing an exodus of progressive liberal members and the creation of competing associations with ethical codes stricter on non-discrimination and more compatible with blue state laws?
I fear that option a) directly above would be the more profitable choice. Everyone (progressive liberal and conservative) can continue functioning under watered-down ethics and associations can continue functioning in all states. I speculate that fewer members would be lost to progressive liberals resigning than to all members in red states resigning and associations risking prosecution by red state governments.
What are your thoughts on this matter?
Are there publications and/or studies addressing these issues? Ongoing deliberations amongst healthcare professional association leadership?

American nurse midwife and the founder of the Frontier Nursing Service Mary Carson Breckinridge died #OTD in 1965.
In 1925, she founded the FNS, which aimed to improve maternal and infant health by providing midwifery and nursing care to families in the Appalachian mountains. Her efforts also helped to elevate the role of nurse-midwives in the United States and contributed to advancements in rural healthcare delivery.
For Bourque Bearskin and Dick, the work they’ve been doing over the last few years, including the development of the #MastersProgram, is better aligning #healthcare with the principles of #UNDRIP.
