💙 #RN. Conflicted between the bureaucracy of healthcare, and the honor of supporting vulnerable patients through my advocacy.

Autopsy reports reveal Ms. Arakawa died of hantavirus a week before Mr. Hackman from heart disease—so tragic! Seems like classic caregiver burnout... her selfless care for him overshadowing her own needs. Makes you wonder how involved their family was.

@GovernorShapiro @TempleUniv Most East Coast states, including PA, overwork us, underpay us, and discard us when we burn out. So, yeah, respectfully, I'm staying put in a state that actually compensates us significantly more, and embraces safe & manageable nurse:patient ratios.

@wombat8754 If I share with you my U&P, will you share with me yours??? 😁

Glad it didn't affect you, although it's clear by public responses a large chunk of viewers were.

I guess I'll just @Google the last two awards, then.

@hulu_support @hulu While we were all rebooting our devices, did you think to reboot yours?

The pandemic was NOT our moment to shine. In my mind, we were shining already.

I'm a fan of math, and there's NO WAY anyone can perform more than 100% of their own effort.

However, as a nurse, I'm often compensating for percentages other nurses claim they're doing at 110%, but don't.

Then again, maybe their 110% is more like my twenty-five.

Caring raises your effort.
Caring raises your intentionality.
Caring raises your attitude.
Caring raises your standard. 
Caring raises your impact.

Caring is a competitive advantage.

Student, if you are thinking of going into medicine to get rich, forget it. All my lawyer and accountant friends have made far more than I ever have.
At the end of the day, caring for the sick is a calling.

There is no such thing as "very unique." If something's unique, it just is, nothing more.

The city of San Francisco, for "safety" reasons, is putting up a massive amount of 'speed cameras,' but do nothing for safety when it comes to 'smash & grabbers' & general crime in its city.

Make no bones about it... They're only about the money!

Working in healthcare especially in a hospital is like an abusive relationship; you never know which version you're going to get on any given day or even by the hour.

How we whine 'discrimination' is intolerable, but it's way okay for the Government to 'blatantly' discriminate people for their age.

On September 11, 2001, firefighter Gary Box, then 35 years old and serving in Brooklyn, tragically disappeared without a trace amidst the chaos of the terrorist attacks.

He hadn't spoken to his father that fateful day, and his body remained unrecovered, leaving his fate shrouded in uncertainty.

Eight years later, in 2009, Gary's sister Christine visited the Tribute Center, where an employee inquired if she was searching for someone specific. She mentioned her brother Gary, prompting the employee to direct her to a photograph within the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel, mistakenly bearing Gary's name.

However, the pictured firefighter was Brian Bilcher, another brave member of Gary's fire squad who had also perished on that tragic day.

This discovery ignited Gary's father's determination to uncover a similar image of his son.

He tirelessly combed through photo archives at the National 9/11 Museum and explored the memorial's website, which allowed users to upload their 9/11 photos. After an exhaustive five-hour search one night, he went to bed, drained both physically and emotionally.

The following morning, his wife Helen summoned him to the living room during breakfast, revealing a photo of a firefighter running through the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel toward the Towers amidst trapped cars.

This time, it was Gary.

You're NOT preventing death by denying end of life pain control

You're making the death more traumatic, difficult

True. Just so true.

I broke up with a girl two weeks into dating (after she called me "bud").

I quit two miserable jobs 6 months in.

And I try to fix home or car issues the day I notice them.

Ending problems ASAP is a massive difference-maker in life happiness.

The longer you let them drag on – the more trouble they will cause.

Humans are capable of such incredible kindness, yet they knowingly, too, subscribe to cruelty unlike any other species on the planet.

Imagine if hospitals had, after a 12+ hour shift, specialized staff available for the purpose of helping healthcare workers deflate from shifts via massage or stress therapy.

@cstanley I laughed at that box. Then realized, had I NOT thrown mine away, I would not have had the need to buy that phone cord for a landline install into my elder's home recently.

Avoid any & all risks in life, and you're assured of NEVER knowing your true potential.
