@TheCanuckMD The whole medical system built around you is tearing you away from that grief and sacred connection.

*That* is what is wrong.

Not you.

@processmayor76 The new grad RNs chose to go to school during a worldwide pandemic.

If that isn't metal as shit, I don't know what is.

I make it a point to tell them they are awesome.

I found new things to stress out over and everyone knows the key to a long and happy relationship with one's anxiety is ~variety~

Hi.

I quit coming here as often and I feel happier.

[Dr. Cait S. Kirby (she/her) @caitskirby]

We need more* professors who were "bad" at school.

People who struggled. People who tried to learn 6 different explanations before the aha. People who don't have perfect memories. People who take time to process things. People who got Ds.

Survivorship bias promotes exclusion.

If there was a way to transfer student debt this generation's Jesus Christ is one who will accept all loans and die in bankruptcy for all our tuition sins

@itsmetheHBIC I don't know how Houston women doll up and get as fine as they do bc when I was in Houston I was a greasy, oily, sweaty mess with flat hair and swamp ass.

@jonykipnis This is the perspective of a guy most institutions are built for so yeah of course you're happy

I have seen patients extubate themselves with persistent tongue action, pulling head away from vent tubing, WITH THEIR FEET and so many others .

tbh I respect the persistence and grind.

Service jobs are a more worthy prereq for any position in healthcare than o chem, fight me.

My son, 18, has his first job and has been going to school every day and then goes to work after. Here’s his take, “I’ve learned more about life and the world working this drive thru at Zaxby’s than from 12 years of that private school tuition you paid for.”

I want a personal trainer who will yell that the world is on fire and if I dont build up core strength how am I gonna survive the apocalypse wars?

@fuzzymittens Is one bite of a pancake NPO for anesthesia? HMMMMM?

@InnovationRN I love home health work. HATE the paperwork and pay.

@MileHighBecky In retrospect the post was very un-nuanced, mostly directed at ppl who dont try to overcome communication barriers and just blame patient.

If pt has delusions, specifying them is more helpful than "poor historian" but yes genuine barriers do occur.

[Propofol Ho - Gimme that D(iprivan) @Smooshfacepug]

The patient is not a poor historian.

You just suck at taking a thorough history, or too lazy to do it.

@nursekelsey I have memories of being a 5 yo being very anxious over hugging, including my parents. It never felt safe and comforting until my 30s. I am so touched and grateful that your kiddo does not have this experience and has such trust in you. 🥰
