WSNA Executive Director @davkeep.bsky.social will step down August 2026. "This is the craziest and busiest job I have ever had. I truly love it. This is the highlight of my almost 45 years as a nurse. But it’s time to move on to the next stage of my life." Read his letter in the #WashingtonNurse.

Nurses associations in WA, OR, CA, & HI stand by our #westcoasthealthalliance leaders. Healthcare must be grounded in science, not partisan ideology. Nurses stand ready to protect our patients from the erosion of trust in our federal health agencies. @governorferguson.bsky.social @wsna.bsky.social

We are excited to announce that we have reached a settlement in the lawsuit that restores webpages and data that nurses, other healthcare providers, and scientists need to do their work.

YouTube video by Washington State Nurses Association Lawsuit settlement requires restoration of critical federal health resources

“This settlement represents a win for nurses, science, and patients,” said WSNA president @justin-gill.bsky.social. “When clinicians, researchers, and advocates join together in pushing back against harmful policies by the administration, we can make a meaningful impact for our patients.”

Resistance against harmful policies can often yield effective results. We must continue to hold our values close and push back when necessary.
