What Does Moral Agency Mean for Nurses in the Era of Artificial Intelligence? - Ulrich - 2026 - Hastings Center Report - Wiley Online Library onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
Thank you @Lawrence for speaking about Alex Pretti's life as a nurse and the compassion that he brought to his patients and those he mentored. His voice has been silenced, but all those that he cared for in the ICU will remember his kind heart and words of calm.

To the family and friends of ICU nurse Alex Pretti, please share this tribute.
@NightShiftMD I have never been a social media person but I’m an ICU nurse in Nanaimo and it would mean a lot to me if you could help my poem reach Alex Pretti’s colleagues and loved ones

Alex Pretti, a registered nurse, was killed in a horrifying shooting at the hands of federal law enforcement. We ask all nurses to visit ow.ly/2ysn50Y3L4G to send a letter to your members of Congress. Let them know that nurses demand immediate action.

Mary Turner, ICU nurse in the Minneapolis metro area and NNU president, visited the site of fellow nurse Alex Pretti's murder today.
Nurses across the country are heartbroken and outraged, and we demand the immediate abolition of ICE!
Our op-ed in the Philadelphia Inquirer on moving forward in the New Year and the value of nursing to society. "Nurses should be supported, not undercut and disparaged."

In a @PhillyInquirer opinion piece, NCTH senior scientists @maqcurley, @cm_ulrich, and @MaryDNaylor discuss the role of nurses in the U.S. healthcare system and how policy decisions and public narratives shape the nursing workforce and care delivery.

Nurses are powering science that changes lives. The @NINR has been doing it for 40 years, and we can’t afford to lose it. Check out this @JAMAHealthForum article led by @PennNursing NCTH senior scientists, @MaryDNaylor, @maqcurley, and @cm_ulrich: jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…

@PennNursing's NCTH faculty members @CM_Ulrich, @MaryDNaylor, and Martha A.Q. Curley respond in @STAT to the proposal removing advanced nursing degrees from the “professional” category. Their perspective explains why it matters for patient care.

BREAKING: Scientists are staging a “science fair” in the lobby of a Congressional building to tell elected officials about the critical knowledge the US will lose because their research grants have been canceled.

Our op-ed in the Philadelphia Inquirer on why not appoint a nurse as the surgeon general?
Time to think differently on the healthcare challenges facing our society.

In memory of Linda Burnes Bolton, DrPH, RN, FAAN (1948-2025). We honor her legacy as a trailblazer in nursing, former President of the National Black Nurses Association, and a cherished Friend of the MFP. Her contributions and dedication to the field will always be remembered.
Thank you for a wonderful meeting @MSKCancerCenter! I look forward to our bioethics work together.
