The stories parents carry from their child’s death shape their grief. We compared parent memories to nurse assessments; revealing striking divergence. The EHR doesn’t tell the whole story, especially at EOL @maq_curley @PamelaSHinds1 @awernerlinPhD #hapc #NurseTwitter #PedsICU

I’ve shared this before, but it’s been a few years, and it’s a new academic medical year, so throwing it out there again as a reminder. We may stop machines or procedures but we should never stop caring. #hapc

1/Please share this thread on behalf of my physician colleague, Eunice Stallman, who is facing the nightmare of her 9mo daughter, Zoey, being diagnosed with brain cancer several weeks ago. @BlueCrossIdaho has added to their anguish by obstructing access to vital treatment.

Closing my laptop after my final meeting of #POPC research fellowship @DanaFarber @HMSPallCare full of gratitude & wonder. These two years left me with new understandings (both anticipated & unimaginable), friends, & many, many books (both read & unread). Now, onward

Today will be extra fun because the same Court that said the Constitution prohibits private colleges from considering race as a factor in admissions is going to say that private bakeries can consider sexual orientation as a factor in who they make cakes for

New pub dropped in Journal of Pediatric Nursing: authors.elsevier.com/a/1hIJU… >40% of 277 bereaved parents felt their child suffered, but feeling prepared for EOL symptoms was associated with lower risk of perceived suffering. @jennifersnaman @danielledeco1 #NurseTwitter #hapc

Exciting to see this moving forward. Can’t wait to see the results of the maternal vaccine designed to protect newborns and infants. An effective RSV vaccine will seismically change the landscape of #pediatrics and #PedsICU - if we can get the public to accept it of course…
The FDA approves the world's first RSV vaccine. The single-shot vaccine could be available for adults 60 and older as soon as this fall. cnn.it/3ARz0KR

It would be difficult to find literally anything else that Americans agree on this much. It’s time for Congress to get in line with the American people.

30 infants die and we recall 4.7 mil Rock ‘n Play Sleepers. 2 toddlers die and we recall 3.2 mil Calico Critters toys. 2 infants die and we recall so much formula that the US goes into shortage. Last year, over 6,000 children were injured by gun violence. Nothing. Nada.
