To hear someone say, “she was there with me during one of the hardest moments of my life, she was my nurse” makes being a nurse worth it. To know you’ve made a difference in someone’s life is one of the best parts of being a nurse. ❤️
“Wait a dang second @klsmoothie3 you graduated high school in ‘13?! I graduated COLLEGE in ‘11! “Yeah remember that time you asked why we couldn’t have been friends in college? Because I was in middle school” 😂👵🏻 #tellmeyoureold
An 11-year-old who survived the school shooting in Texas went into survival mode and put someone's blood on herself to pretend she was dead. The classmate next to her died and then saved her life. This is the kind of trauma you hear from an active war zone, not a 4th grade class.

Time of death: 3:46 PM.
The ICU fell silent. A heavy cloak of sorrow pressed down on the room.
*whoosh*
The familiar rush of heat came to my face. Next came the prickling in my eyes. Once the tears started I knew they wouldn’t stop.
Shit.
I needed to get out of there.
Nursing is probably objectively the worst career in existence, no matter how much I like it. No breaks, shitty pay, exposure to every hazard, risking your life in a pandemic, watch people die, government tries to cap your pay, and now you can go to jail if you make a mistake.
As someone who’s seen my share of war, there are two things that keep me up most about #Ukraine: nukes & kids. They’re the 2 elements that are most devastating & devastated. And most often forgotten about. When bombs start dropping, think about the nukes. Think about the kids.🇺🇦
