My Gen Z patients told me they thought I was in my early 20s and I am officially at the age where I will be riding that high for at least a week.

@nicunurselifee Anyone who hates on using this medication to treat obesity simply isn’t up to date on the research, and is an asshole.

I got a post cardiac arrest patient in the middle of my shift yesterday and I spent a good hour-ish in that room getting them stabilized with other nurses helping me. Charge didn’t send anyone to help with my other 3 patients. & I’m left feeling like I fucked up.

[Baby MedicRN @BMedicrn]

Do we think I can convince my hospital to let me get a masters in Anatomy instead of nursing?

[Baby MedicRN @BMedicrn]

Masters degree in Nursing = Boring

Master’s in Integrative Anatomy = Shut up and take my money

I’ve been consistently working out and eating in a moderate calorie deficit for a little over 2 months. I don’t know how much weight I’ve lost but the scrubs I just bought are now too big😁

[Baby MedicRN @BMedicrn]

I triaged this lady & she asked me about the diagnostic testing and treatment and she seemed very knowledgeable. She told me she always wanted to be a doctor but women weren’t accepted into med school when she was younger, so she’s been teaching herself medicine her whole life!

I know it’s just a stupid holiday, and of course it’s not why I do it. But it does suck when nobody in your life recognizes you as a “Mom” on Mother’s Day because you’re just a bonus mom.

[Baby MedicRN @BMedicrn]

One of the techs I work with called me “one of the seasoned nurses” and I’m like Oh shit it’s that bad. I’ve been a nurse for ~3 years and I’m considered to be “seasoned” 💀💀💀

My old coworker was complaining about Zofran not being OTC bc when she gets sick, she’s still expected to cook & take care of the kids but her husband just gets to sit on the couch when he’s sick.

Girl that’s not a Zofran problem that’s a your husband problem.

Searching for a new therapist. My boyfriend suggests the practice that he goes to because it’s close to our house and there are many to choose from. First therapist who pops up on the website is my abusive ex husband’s fiancé 😳

My poor pediatric psych patient has been waiting for placement for a week, so I got him his favorite drink and snack when I had him last night. Well one of the other patients made him so anxious he projectile vomited it all up😅 it’s the thought that counts right?

[Baby MedicRN @BMedicrn]

I now make more money than either of them will and have a better work schedule. But I worked so god damn hard for an EMS officer position. It was my dream. It feels like I’ve been slighted all over again a little bit.

[Baby MedicRN @BMedicrn]

Part of why I left my EMS job is because a man with less credentials & experience was chosen for a promotion over me. He ended up quitting, the chief who promoted him was demoted, and that guy came back and was given the chief’s spot.

I found the one downside to working weekends only. When you have a fever and have to call out, you lose all that differential pay😩

[Baby MedicRN @BMedicrn]

I had this patient who was an old Russian man and when I asked about alcohol he said “I only drink about half to 3/4 of a liter of vodka a day.” 🥴

[Baby MedicRN @BMedicrn]

@mvercy I know this is meant to be encouraging but we don’t have to put other women down to do that :)
She seems like a great person and my insecurities are not her fault.

[Baby MedicRN @BMedicrn]

I hate days like today. I saw a mom from my kids’ class at the gym and I couldn’t help but compare myself. She is very conventionally attractive and OF COURSE she works out. I had to move so I wouldn’t see myself in the mirror. Why am I like this? 😞

[Baby MedicRN @BMedicrn]

The hospital’s chicken tenders and fries have no business being as delicious as they are 🤤

[Baby MedicRN @BMedicrn]

A patient gave a urine sample that was legit the color of blue Gatorade. No exaggeration. I’ve never seen anything like it.
