AYKM? I came in to have 3 patients? I’m gonna be out of here at 10. We don’t need 2 RN for 3 patients.
But at least I got my one IV start on the fist attempt. 😂

Morning. It’s Monday. I’m awake and I’m not happy about it. I was going to be off today because we didn’t have many patients on the books. But then we added some so now I have to go in and I’m salty.

If I haven’t spoken to you in years do not fucking include me in a huge group text. Especially not to share a GoFundMe for someone I don’t know. And definitely do Not do this at 7AM on a fucking Sunday. The

Holy cow!! This woman is super talented. My mom was a professional belly dancer and instructor for many years when I was a kid. I’ve taken many hours of instruction from her and watched countless hours of dancers. This is amazing control!

You could not pay me enough to cross a picket line.
Idc that your travel company is putting you up in a hotel in Times Square, paying for a car ride to/from work, and gave you a Valentine’s gift.
Nope.

Fuuuuuuuck. Episode 6 of The Pitt. 4:30 seconds in and I’m done. My hands are shaking, my pulse is racing, and I’m fucking sobbing.
I can’t even watch a fake Code on TV. There’s no way I can ever go back to acute care. It’s been over 3 years since my last code … the last of too fucking many.

Cishet people … When someone tells you they’re not a cishet person please refrain from saying, “You don’t look <gender identity/sexual orientation>.”
There is no specific appearance for any gender identity or sexual orientation.
Basically saying “you look cishet” isn’t the compliment you think.

I ain’t doing fuck all today. I woke up at a stupidly early hour. I’m tired. I’m kinda grumpy. I’m lazy AF. And I’m gonna roll with that. Dreamlight Valley & SM are the extent of my plans today. 😂🤣

I’m a “both sides” person on this. As a patient I really like having access to my labs earlier than the week (or more) that it takes my NP or doctor to get back with me on my results. BUT I’m a nurse (and a board certification eligible NP by education). I have education and clinical experience

Ran into a woman on the elevator yesterday. I’d guess her age to be early to mid-70s. She was wearing a sweatshirt that said, “Radicalized By Human Decency.”
I told her I loved her shirt. She smiled and said, “I have to protest everywhere I can.”

I’m sorry if this sounds weird or rude but … if 2 (or more) LGBTQ people are talking about LGBTQ experiences and you’re a straight person don’t butt in. Just don’t. I get that you’re an ally or have a gay kid or whatever. But just don’t. Okay? Thanks.
