Pediatric ICU Nurse 🩺 welcome to my beautiful mess ☀️

If you are not given permission to touch, hold, breathe near, and especially KISS another humans baby/kid then DONT FUCKING DO IT. And if you KNOW you’ve been around sick people or feel sick how about being considerate and not going around them. The ICU is full X3 people.

A year ago today I thought the time I had left with my mom was limited and wasn’t even sure we’d see this Christmas. This year I’m extra grateful.

[𝚕𝚊𝚞𝚛𝚎𝚗 @laurrae_]

My whole entire world is falling apart.

[𝚕𝚊𝚞𝚛𝚎𝚗 @laurrae_]

All I want is for some little kid to be able to look back one day and say “that’s the nurse that made me smile on one of the worst days of my life” and “that’s the nurse that validated and accepted my anger”.

@2manybitchez I’ve never heard a better analogy and i hate that that’s the literal only way to explain it

[𝚕𝚊𝚞𝚛𝚎𝚗 @laurrae_]

Not me checking the Chick-fil-A app everyday waiting to go get a peppermint shake

[𝚕𝚊𝚞𝚛𝚎𝚗 @laurrae_]

Disordered eating man. She thinks she rules everything.

[𝚕𝚊𝚞𝚛𝚎𝚗 @laurrae_]

[𝚕𝚊𝚞𝚛𝚎𝚗 @laurrae_]

I just wrote a 6 page paper, at 4 in the morning, while working.

Did I buy a snow cone machine and replace my coffee station with a snow cone station? Absolutely did.

[𝚕𝚊𝚞𝚛𝚎𝚗 @laurrae_]

You’d think I would’ve learned my lesson by now but here we are again crying in pain and barely able to walk because of a sunburn 🙃🙃

My pre teen patient is awake at 5 am and her “call light” is her maraca so now she just randomly shakes it and makes me come in for a 5 second dance party then goes back to her business 🥹😂

[𝚕𝚊𝚞𝚛𝚎𝚗 @laurrae_]

@MisserCain Except I’ll be head banging and you’ll be swooning over engines and wheels

[𝚕𝚊𝚞𝚛𝚎𝚗 @laurrae_]

I’ll be in Seattle next month so I guess that’s cool
