Thu, 08:22: I thought we had a rough transition to a new report style: these nurses went from taped to bedside! #ARNA2012 http://t.co/TjqBZhk5

Thu, 09:58: Beebe just mentioned the working poor. Happy to hear that acknowledged as an issue. #ARNA2012
Thu, 10:12: Gov. Beebe just finished speaking. Very nice. #ARNA2012
Thu, 10:14: Is healthcare a fundamental right? #ARNA2012 (Hint: you probably know my view on that...)
Thu, 10:17: Ouch. I knew the obesity epidemic would come up. *sigh*

Thu, 10:18: AAAAAND there it is: the use of "obese" & "unhealthy" interchangeably. Very frustrating as a healthy obese woman. #ARNA2012

Thu, 10:42: Nurses are trained to be advocates: btwn pt & phys, phys & admin, etc. Why not politically as well? #arna2012
Thu, 10:44: I've thought about that before: we really are in the middle of a medical revolution with all the new science. #arna2012
Thu, 10:49: Some of the things that change healthcare fundamentally are straight up NURSING CARE. #arna2012
Thu, 11:11: We are the ones with the on-the-ground stories that can change things. If I can figure how not to violate HIPAA, I have a few #arna2012
