WHAT WE'RE BLOGGING ABOUT

* In "This Is What Democracy Looks Like: Nurses Included," nursing professor and AJN editorial board member Karen Roush discusses her experience at the Women's March on Washington in January (https://wp.me/p7sy0l-6hb).

WHAT READERS ARE SAYING ON TWITTER, FACEBOOK, AND OUR BLOG
"I absolutely [would consider selecting an NP as my primary provider]. They are capable and have an exceptional connection with patients due to past bedside practice and experience." "If we keep in mind that we are shaping our future leaders, it's easy to change the culture of a unit that resists new nurses. And it only takes one person to start the shift." "I warn students to mind their facial gestures."
