Today is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. It is a call to action and a reminder that violence against women and girls is the most pervasive human rights violation worldwide. There is no excuse for gender-based violence.

#CDCYRBS data show that 40% of high school students felt persistently sad or hopeless in 2023, and 20% seriously considered attempting suicide. These data also show effective ways to support youth mental health. Explore the full report to find out more. bit.ly/su7304a9

For third straight year, firearms killed more children and teens, (ages 1 -17) in the USA than any other cause including car crashes and cancer. As a pediatric nurse & parent this is a nightmare. VOTE accordingly . More data & resources in article by @RobinCogan below

📢The House proposes steep cuts for Title VIII Nursing Workforce programs & @NINR funding! 🏥 - including merging NINR with 3 other NIH institutes (!) We must urge Congress to support full funding for FY 2025: votervoice.net/Shares/BAAAAAt… #NursingAdvocacy #SupportNINR #NursingAdvocacy


Not one to overshare on this bird app - my little one was in the PICU when the @NASCARChicago team came by (he is fine now!). He loved these goodies (the small flag and race car were a big hit!). Thank you @NASCARChicago @NASCAR_FDN -- and the excellent health team @RushMedical

🐻💚 Our patients had a bear-y good day thanks to the @NASCARChicago team. In celebration of the @NASCAR_FDN's 7th Annual #SpeedyBearBrigade, members of the Chicago staff stopped by to deliver teddy bears and coloring books to Rush University Children’s Hospital patients.

Our children cannot live and learn like this. We urgently need evidence-based practice and policy changes emphasizing safe firearm storage (locked + unloaded) to protect our children. It’s time for action, not rhetoric. #GunViolence #PolicyChange #EndSchoolShootings

As details emerge on the shooting at Apalachee HS, we stand with all affected by this tragedy. The U.S. continues to be the only place school shootings regularly occur. The latest data shows guns are the leading cause of death among youth and teens. cnn.com/us/live-news/a…
