• Women are underrepresented in construction and skilled trades?
• Women in skilled trades contribute to safer teams?

At PPI, our apprentices, mentors, and trainers are helping women build skills, confidence, and leadership in workplaces that are safer, stronger, and more inclusive.

⏰ DEADLINE IS TONIGHT! STAND WITH NURSES TODAY

⚙️💙 At PPI, we know that People Powered. Tech Driven. Nurse Navigated. isn’t just a tagline! It reflects how highly educated nurses power safe workplaces and protect the well-being of employees and families across South Dakota.

A proposed Department of Education rule could exclude post-baccalaureate nursing degrees from being considered professional, limiting student loan support for advanced nurses and nurse practitioners. This puts access to skilled providers at risk, increases healthcare costs, and impacts workplace safety and community wellness.

Nurses are essential to our communities, workplaces, and the families we serve. Advanced education ensures they can provide the high-quality care we all rely on.

You can make a difference. Submit a comment today to tell the Department of Education that nurses deserve recognition as professional healthcare providers and full access to education support.

💻 Submit your comment here: https://ana.quorum.us/campaign/EDcomment/

Also, sign the Nursing Community Coalition Friends of Nursing letter:https://www.aacnnursing.org/Portals/0/PDFs/Policy/Letters/2026/Nursing-and-Friends-Letter-Sign-On.pdf

All comment letters should be submitted as PDFs here: https://www.regulations.gov/commenton/ED-2025-OPE-0944-0001

⏰ Deadline is tonight before midnight. Help ensure South Dakota and the nation have the highly educated nurses our workplaces and communities depend on.

Tell the Department of Education nursing IS a professional degree!

Did you know that prolonged sitting in desk based roles has been linked to higher rates of heart disease, even in otherwise healthy adults?

🤍💙 American Heart Month is a great time to remember that heart risks are not only found in physically demanding jobs.

The good news is that small changes during the workday can support heart health:

🪑 Stand up and move for a few minutes every hour
🚶 Take short walking breaks during the day
🧍 Hold standing or walking meetings when possible
💧 Stay hydrated to support circulation and overall wellness
🧘 Stretch regularly to reduce stiffness and improve blood flow

At PPI, we know healthy habits and safe workplaces go hand in hand. Encouraging movement during the workday supports both employee wellness and long term productivity. 🤍💙

As Random Acts of Kindness Week comes to a close, remember that even small gestures of support can make a big difference in the workplace.

Taking a moment to check in on a colleague’s wellbeing. Asking how their day is going, noticing if they seem stressed, or simply listening shows care and strengthens team connections.

Kindness can also mean sharing your knowledge or guidance. Answering questions, clarifying a process, or helping someone learn a new task reduces stress, builds confidence, and creates a culture of collaboration.

Thoughtful support and consideration like this ripple beyond the moment; lifting morale, increasing confidence, and fostering safer, more empowered teams. 💙
