It wasn't that long ago, that if you had no beds open and a long ER wait, you went on divert. "Spread the love" among other facilities. Today, under mis-managed care, it's keep packin' em' in, even if the next planned d/c is 48 hours off.

Today a patient informed me that she was allergic to oxygen.......interesting 🤔😂

My dad always told me to find a man that will start your car for you on cold snowy days like this.

Well dad, it’s 2018 and instead of a man, I got a car that can start herself.

A new low. Nurses needed. Nurses willing to stay extra or come in on day off. Management says no because of how over budget they are.

Of all the things we encounter (poop, blood, pee, sputum, wounds) this is hands down the grossest thing about healthcare. 🤮

Feeling extra thankful for a job that I love so much and the patients I get to care for today and everyday. Grateful to have a family that understands my crazy schedule. #HappyThanksgiving 🦃❤️

If my mom is this way with my dog, I can only imagine what she will be like with my children someday 😂🐶👵🏻

[kara skehen @karaskehen]

I don’t think I’ll ever get over the fact that I get to wake up every day and do what I love!!! #blessed 🤗

[kara skehen @karaskehen]

@_binajayy Because you have a heart of gold and are one of the most selfless people I know. I love you and am always here for ya! 😘

[Ave @ave_pen]

i feel for people who don’t have a close relationship with their mom. like i can’t imagine not being able to call my mom to complain about every minor inconvenience that happens throughout my day

[kara skehen @karaskehen]

@_binajayy Yep.....rough day

[kara skehen @karaskehen]

Moose got into my purse today while I was gone and ate all of my detox tea packets 😅💩 #oops #badpup

I was raised to hold the door open for strangers, to extend a handshake when meeting someone for the first time, to have manners and respect for my elders, and to work hard for what I want in life. And for that, I am grateful.

I want to be able to provide for my children like my parents did. And I’ll tell them if anyone gives you crap about it that they are jealous. Never give someone shit about them or their parents being successful. That is wrong

[kara skehen @karaskehen]

The guy I was talking to threatened to kill my dog last night..... tell me again how girls are crazier than guys?? 😅

hardest pill i had to swallow this year is learning how to pick myself back up & how to cope w/o the ppl who i thought would be in my life for a long time. i had to realize that you have to do shit for yourself b/c the only person that will put you back on your two feet is you
