CTICU RN | Paramedic | Pixel Pusher
What I wouldn’t give to be doing nightshifts at 26 vs 36. It’s the price I’m willing to pay to enter into the CTICU, but my body pretty much hates it 🫩

One of these days I’ll earn the right to be on days again ☀️

🚨 BREAKING: Trump has repealed the EPA’s authority to regulate climate pollution, terminating the 2009 “endangerment finding,” which determined that greenhouse gases are dangerous to public health under the Clean Air Act and underpinned limits on emissions from power plants, oil & gas, and vehicles.

Has anyone else in the room entertained what an end to social media would look like for them?

Like what’s a positive pulling of one’s presence from Meta and being one less dollar for Zuckerberg? Most of us went in innocent not knowing we’d all soon collectively fuel oligarchic ambition 😐

This is what post nightshift life looks like for me. I usually have my ‘hangover night’ where I traverse time, but I’m getting better about using it for fun projects such as this!

I’m sizing up a color note I made of the back marsh as there’s nothing like how morning light skates across the reeds 🌾

I’m truly enjoying the frigid depths of winter this year. Despite the world seeming to fall apart around me as an adult, nature still provides moments of deep stillness ❄️

It’s a powerful reminder we are frequently the manufactures of our own mayhem.

Insights aside though? Wtf 😬

Alex Jeffrey Pretti was an ICU nurse at a VA hospital. His life, through his profession, was dedicated to serving his community and our country.

As so many have now seen on video, his final act before he was killed by federal agents was doing everything in his power to protect his community.

I’ve really only just started in the CTICU but I think I’ve finally found my medical ‘home’ in life!

The CTICU has a reputation for a lot of things, but ya know what? It’s fun! The recoveries can be incredibly rewarding to experience ☺️

Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr. has called off nearly $500 million in grants and contracts aimed at advancing mRNA vaccine development. This technology, first deployed during the Covid19 pandemic, allows vaccines to be produced rapidly and adapted as viruses evolve. His brain worms are getting worse!

I’m useless from 16:00-18:00 if on my day off. I can’t study, can’t sleep, and am pretty sure I’m just here to occupy space & oxygen those hours 🫠

In other news one of my favorite flight nurses made the suggestion to re-join the team. While I’m honored, I’m still not convinced it’s the right path forward for me.

So many mixed emotions there, but I’m glad to be an indoor cat, at least for now 🏥🐈

The last 4 days in the ICU have been a rollercoaster for me, but my patient is very much alive now which is the best possible outcome to all the mayhem that it took to get there ❤️
