So many fully grown, presumably fully mentally matured, adult, *doctors* on here defending and excusing police brutalization of college students and professors engaging in peaceful protest.

A lot of y’all had a lot of outrage (rightfully so) when the same thing happened to BLM protesters and now y’all have changed your tune. Why the selective support of peaceful protest?

Never thought I’d see that. Actually nevermind, I’m not surprised after the last few months.

@RNSuperHero They transferred a dead open heart out on no monitor and with anesthesia bagging them. The receiving nurse’s wrath was heard throughout the building. That note she wrote could’ve won awards.

@yassnito This sounds like that video of the hairless cats fighting

Pseudoscience remains pseudoscience no matter who unethically decides to integrate it into their practice.

If you think fertilized eggs are people but parents who've crossed the oceans with their kids aren't, stop pretending your concerns are religious.

I hate living in a world where I am receiving a non-verbal nursing home patient who needs a SANE exam.

Fuck this world.

@herosnvrdie69 Aldi’s near me have always had fruit on the verge of spoiling and unless you eat tons of meat and dairy, there’s not many options there. I have to end up going to other places for staples. It’s just me and my roommate and our bill racks up. I can’t imagine families rn

@MortytheRN No it’s accented on the i since it’s Portuguese

[The Marvelous Mrs. Mepilex @PlagueRN]

@MortytheRN I have a cousin named that 😅

[The Marvelous Mrs. Mepilex @PlagueRN]

Our units are down 20 nurses a shift. Our managers can’t imagine why but yet continue to mess up schedules instead of utilizing the many many PRN nurses, causing people to have to scramble for child care, cancel plans, and/or routinely work 16h. And you wonder why we’re leaving?

[The Marvelous Mrs. Mepilex @PlagueRN]

I work with a certain intensivist and nurse who when they work together, something ends up catching on fire

Does anyone else share a black cloud with another emergency med/crit care counterpart so powerful that when you are both on, it creates a supercell vortex of the darkest clouds?

@PedsAllergyDoc I mean, eczema can be a reaction from a food allergy. Mine only cleared up when I completely cut out dairy as I’m pretty allergic to it and it was one of my reactions.

[baggy 🥹 @plastic_baggy17]

ICU nursing is just me squinting at the monitor for an extended period of time deciding if something is real and if it is real, if it lasts long enough for me do something about it 🤨🤨🧐

[The Marvelous Mrs. Mepilex @PlagueRN]

I say this about 10x a shift.

[The Marvelous Mrs. Mepilex @PlagueRN]

@PostOpPrincess Depends how long they’re NPO for

[The Marvelous Mrs. Mepilex @PlagueRN]

You know it’s a bad shift when your attending asks if they can get you anything… food, coffee 😅

[The Marvelous Mrs. Mepilex @PlagueRN]

@eimamieb @SaltyEMNY Then what is the role of the RN during intubations?
