I had legislation to address nurse workplace violence that passed the House but was never considered by the Senate. So much for supporting our healthcare heroes who have been on the frontlines taking care of us, not to mention ignoring the shortage. #txlege @TexasNursesAssn
Replying to @MoiraDonegan
A recent study found that 44.4% and 67.8% of the nurses reported experiencing physical violence and verbal abuse, respectively, between February and May/June 2020. We literally have a new code now for when an employee is being assaulted.

New guidelines from US Preventive Services Task Force rec CRC screening starting at age 45, reflecting new research that shows younger people are being diagnosed w/CRC at higher rates. This will improve access for those ages 45-49 & help save more lives. bit.ly/3yn4yWw

New USPSTF #colorectalcancer #screening guideline out today. Universal agreement exists. All people at average risk need to start screening at age 45. Let’s all work together to get this done. @NCCRTnews @AmericanCancer Society
