Do I **want** this surgery? Like, I would prefer not to. But I need it.

Would really really like to see a #nurse on this advisory board. Not as a token appointment, but as someone critical to understanding frontline work. So many nurses are burned out and barely holding on. Those problems need to be addressed. static1.squarespace.com/stat…
