Shannon Vincent returns after a short break to update listeners on recent advocacy work: the push for strangulation felony legislation in South Carolina, threats to reproductive and medical practice under proposed bills, rising violence against healthcare workers, and turmoil within the International Association of Forensic Nurses due to embezzlement.

The episode underscores the need for nurses to advocate for patients and themselves, explains how bills move through the legislature, and urges listeners to stay informed, show up, and make their voices heard.
