Sweary nurse practitioner. My views are my own and don’t reflect those of my employer. Don’t bring a knife to a gun fight. she/her

@RNSuperHero This makes me think of that one episode of @AbbottElemABC

@panagis21 Absolutely. And it isn’t a new or revolutionary idea. But to make it work, we have to basically dismantle the current healthcare system and create a new one that actually serves patients.

I just spent the last 2 hrs of my life trying to schedule preventive care appointments. I got ¾ done, with an insane amount of annoyance and confusion about the orders, and can’t schedule the last until later this year. No wonder patients don’t get shit done. It should be easy!

@TheBlondeRN I never found nursing school to be a bastion of evidence-based education. 😬

I’m reading a book about mindfulness and my Garmin watch just told me that my stress levels were too high and I should try a relaxation exercise. I am the person who stresses about stress reduction. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I am back from oblivion with a new post: an interview with the peerless Dr. Heather Folz, Pharm D! https://t.co/uv6FUmUBtP

@BabsWilgus “Reach out” as in, “I’ll reach out to him abo it the project tomorrow.” I can’t help but see a disembodied hand reaching through some poor unfortunate’s computer screen. 🤮

[Maureen Flood @NPMaureen]

@ORourkeJr How exciting!!!

@CatDocMD Never a dull moment in primary care! Impossible to get bored.

@rubin_allergy What did you say? Can you write a script for the rest of us?

[Maureen Flood @NPMaureen]

@TransNursing Frankly, I bet if you did a study about when this is most likely to happen, it would be patients who are Black women with sickle cell, which makes it a racist and sexist practice.

[Maureen Flood @NPMaureen]

Today’s health system frustration: transportation problems that put patients at risk because they can’t be seen in a timely way in clinic and there simply isn’t enough home-based primary care. 🤬🤬🤬 At least I’m wfh today so I can scream obscenities. #NurseTwitter #MedTwitter

[Maureen Flood @NPMaureen]

@TrenaryJL @POTUS Not to mention that in our current system, pharmacists can’t bill for that time so it is patient care without remuneration! It is theft of time. #singlepayernow

[Maureen Flood @NPMaureen]

@RainaBrands Yes! This happens to me, too. Once my kid ended up sitting for hours in the nurses’ office sick because they kept calling me and I was in the middle of a busy clinic without my phone and they wouldn’t call his dad.

@AbbyIsaacsNews @WMAR2News Wtf? Why are people such assholes?

[Maureen Flood @NPMaureen]

@CatDocMD I started to learn to draw and drew my eyes and it wasn’t bad!
