I thought the information about the housing disparities among minorities was super interesting. I think that plays such a huge role regarding access to health care and healthy food options.

Thank you Dr. Hassmiller.

I really appreciated the report’s focus on nurses and the burnout and lack of appreciation that contributes to nursing’s high turnover rates. This issue really exacerbates the nursing shortage and should be addressed.

Health disparities are going to be a defining issue for our generation, thank you for this excellent presentation outlining so many aspects of nursing care!

I found it encouraging that you guys addressed the racial disparities in healthcare and mentioned the movements over the summer.

It is sad that school nurses are underpaid. They play a critical role in Child development

it resonated with me how little diversity there is in nursing leadership

Thank you for the presentation. This topic is the reason I wanted to be a nurse. Everyone deserves to be given the level of care that they need and not just what the standard is. I’m passionate about diversity and truly knowing your patient.

Although we come a long way with diversity, with the information you provided and disparities you pointed out, we still have a long way to go.

I also thank you for taking such a firm stance on matters that are seen as controversial or political in nature. As healthcare professionals it will be our responsibility to be objective in our care and education.

Jay will be giving a heads up on time in the chat for the coming presentations while I run the PowerPoints.

As nurses we must all take a firm stance on the health of our public. How can we do otherwise?

Well spoken thank you so much! I am proud to be a nurse and to be a Gator RN.

please let them know that we will keep with the webinar
