My opinions represent no one but me... and even that's questionable.
Don't make it weird.

Hi, ER Doc here.

I use this account to teach people about medical emergencies. It’s my birthday today and would love to hit 200K followers to be able to reach more people.

Can I get some follows and RTs to help me get there?

[L. RN. @SnarkquessRN]

@RepStefanik Remember when the air was clean? It's because the dinosaurs were in charge. A T-Rex was president.

Oh - wow - it IS easy to say weird and reductive things on here. AND it doesn't even have to be true. 🤔

For any other TN voters interested

[L. RN. @SnarkquessRN]

@VoteGlennFunk
As a TN nurse and registered voter, I am appalled at your office's involvement and behavior in the Radonda Vaught trial. You have undermined actual patient safety and risked lives for headlines. Many will suffer as a result.
I've changed my vote. I won't be alone.

I'll need to do more research, but now that I WILL NOT @VoteGlennFunk , I'm looking at better options @MyersforDA

[L. RN. @SnarkquessRN]

@gradydoctor Thank you for this! It hit deep. ❤️

[L. RN. @SnarkquessRN]

@NewOldRN Reach out to someone in the education department, they should at least know who handles those arrangements. Not sure if talking to anyone on the board would accomplish much 🤷🏼‍♀️ In my experience, hospitals typically have protocols for clinical rotations.

[Healthy and Free Tennessee @HealthyFreeTN]

With fewer than 24 hours' notice, & without posting the text of the bill online, TN will be hearing a TX-style abortion ban tomorrow that completely bans abortions at any stage of gestation and allows abortion providers and loved ones of abortion patients to be sued for $10K.

[L. RN. @SnarkquessRN]

😬😜 Yep.

[The Marvelous Mrs. Mepilex @PlagueRN]

I think my nursing professors would throw a PE if they knew that it’s pretty common to report ABG findings to the doc like “yeah his gas came back… looks like shit.”

[L. RN. @SnarkquessRN]

@LolOverruled Holy shit. Are they baking things on the counter?! I will remove A WHOLE ARM if you move my temp out of the 60s. Pfft.
Who are these humans that don't pay bills? What have I done so very wrong?

[L. RN. @SnarkquessRN]

@jtrebach You posted this... So definitely not. Sorry, Shania. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Also - a career in EM means I will FOR SURE die if stranded due to my fear of "unintentional ingestion" of something crazy 🤦🏼‍♀️ My only hope is a solid water source. And ... Eating Shania.

[L. RN. @SnarkquessRN]

@NewOldRN (And... Shhhh... But I googled my first apgar score after catching a surprise baby in the ED 🤷🏼‍♀️ The doc saw me do it and gave a look... I said "I could make it up and pretend I know, or I could be right. I figured you wanted it right." 😜)

[L. RN. @SnarkquessRN]

@NewOldRN Sure... But you will have context, a reference range next to the lab result, co-workers, a whole interdisciplinary care team AND the internet, lol 🤣
Nursing school gives you a framework, but also makes you feel like it's just you and the patient on a desert island 🤷🏼‍♀️

[L. RN. @SnarkquessRN]

In an insulting reminder of my age, I just woke up from a dream where I was arguing about the start date of my insurance benefits. 😑
That's a fun way to start the week. 🙄

@wanderrlex Gets the credit

Tweet -> Meme -> Truth

[L. RN. @SnarkquessRN]

@NewOldRN Don't get frustrated! If it's not sticking... Walk away for a minute and reset. ABSOLUTELY ZERO of your patients will ask you about lymphocytes. EVER. Get the gist, memorize for the test... And move on.
(Probably shouldn't say that... But it's true)
