Just saying I am so tired of people being apologetic about

learning and considering it inferior or second best. Online
#teaching
and
#learning
is a rigorous
#pedagogy

#accountability
than F2F. Kudos to faculty, staff and students working hard

And so important that
#nursing
is recognized as a
#STEM
discipline.
#Nurses
are not just
#caring
but
#smart
. Competent, confident, credentialed, caring and committed professionals. We need to recognize the value of
#education
of health professionals in
#health
outcomes.
On 11 February we celebrate the international day of women and girls in science. We support
#WomenInScience
and
#WomenInStem
. Here's one of our favourites, whose work revolutionised health care for good: Florence Nightingale.
