"I didn't become a nurse to maximize UPMC's billion dollar profits."
Just one of more than 500 healthcare worker testimonies submitted for today's Intergovernmental Hearing on the Pittsburgh Hospital Workforce Crisis.
Our experiences as hospital workers are critical in understanding & addressing the workforce crisis.
Our elected leaders want WORKERS AT THE TABLE where solutions are made & that starts with sharing our experiences on the frontlines.

HEY @TMobile How could you make it so difficult for our most vulnerable to cancel their plan, and then continue to bill them, simultaneously with a pandemic?! Would you want your elderly loved ones out right now? PLEASE FIX THIS MESS AND DO THE RIGHT THING
Today - maybe I could home school; this isn’t so bad. We’ve gone to the park, found sticks, discussed science, read books, talked philosophy...
Wednesday - Netflix all day and I’m drinking beer out of a coffee mug at 11am
@Kelli_Leslie I bet you Elle could be up for the challenge lol. I’m sorry girl, I am hearing you loud and clear right now. It is so trying. But I promise you it only gets better and it’s such a small, little blip of their life (look at Scar). Hugs and kisses 😘
@Tommytoughstuff Waking up to a room full of snakes on the floor (thank your wife for me for that one, forever irrational fear since watching The Craft with her at a young age) 🐍🐍🐍
Christmas is the Disney World of holidays. Everyone says it’s the most wonderful time of the year, but it’s mostly spent full of stress with a bunch of people that annoy you, and when it’s over you’re in debt and left crying.
Patient. Smoked pot. Felt dizzy. Called 911. EMS to hospital. Waited 2 hrs for Doc to say, “Hey, pot makes you dizzy sometimes.” Discharged.
Several hundred dollars in medical bills cause you can’t handle your weed. 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
@CourtneyStange @SusanRothenberg I definitely don’t have any of the answers. I just wish taking the higher road and treating others as we would like to be treated was the case instead of what feels like is fueling more gas to the fire. So many are hurting, I cannot say I know what they may feel either.
@CourtneyStange @SusanRothenberg Of course not, this is a time for healing, never hate. Unfortunately, the rhetoric of this presidency has been fueled by so much discourse and has divided our nation. so many still haven’t healed from the multiple tragedies from before this one.
