What a day. After nearly 5 hours of waiting on the West End Overlook, I finally got the view I was hoping for. An absolutely incredible double rainbow filled the sky over #Pittsburgh, towering high into the colorful sky. One of the most amazing sunsets I've ever seen in this city

[Dave DiCello @DaveDiCello]

What a sunrise in #Pittsburgh today. While the color was spectacular (and you'll see those images later) the way the light cut through the buildings and lingering fog on the rivers after the sun was up was just incredible. Was like something out of a movie.

My dear friend @EDamuth wrote the most beautiful thing. We hold the phone and we cry. https://t.co/I5mNOTfDkx #MedTwitter #Covid_19

There are just so many different ways to frame #Pittsburgh with the trees along the North Shore, and this one from last weekend is up there as a favorite. With the sunlight illuminating the path, tree branches, and city, it really makes it look like you're walking into a painting

everyone else’s jobs: our office space is closed, please work from home

nurses’ jobs: we still need you to work OT, and it’s BYO mask

i see a lot of “ICU nurses” shading CVICU nurses lately... and honestly, it makes sense because jealousy is a disease that would be found in MICU.

[Dave DiCello @DaveDiCello]

Snow falling while there are still leaves on the trees can make for beautiful images. This is probably my favorite combination of the two that I've ever captured in #Pittsburgh, with the bright red standing out against the dusting of snow on the West End.

You know yinz is in Steeler County when the game is playing in every TV in the ICU #onlyintheicu #SteelersNation

So this is what I drew with the prompt “the language of medicine.” A heart translating devastating diagnoses into supportive words and phrases and disseminating them along with beauty and nature and grace.

Fuck you, Maureen Walsh. #nursesneedbreakstoo

[Dave DiCello @DaveDiCello]

The light over #Pittsburgh as the storms rolled in today was straight up insane, like there was a spotlight on downtown...it almost looks photoshopped. A rainbow or lightning strike over the city would've made this an all-time favorite for me, but it's definitely still up there.

[Nurse Savage @OnlyintheICU]

Wow sometimes after a shift I just want to put the best noise cancelling headphones on and hear absolutely nothing. #alarmfatigue #noisefatigue #humaninteractionfatigue #quiettime (And I'm an extrovert!!!)

[UPMC Careers @UPMCCareers]

📢 EXCITING NEWS 📢 We're thrilled to be rolling out a new full-time, twelve-month program for graduate nurses, right here at UPMC. Spread the word about this incredible opportunity at UPMC Shadyside and UPMC Presbyterian!

[Kelsy @kelsyrich]

Anyone who works in the medical field, especially in critical care should absolutely go read this book now #onlyintheicu #OneSentenceShift #nursing #medicine #criticalcare

We stand together.

Update from yesterday's blood drive: So many people stopped by that we had to make appointments for future dates in order for everyone to donate.

@VitalantPA collected 254 units, enough to save or directly impact 762 local lives.

Thank you, Pittsburgh. You are incredible.
