Impossible is nothing

[Michael Taiwo @AskMichaelTaiwo]

THINGS YOU MOST LIKELY WILL NOT REGRET DOING

Studying more. Drinking more water. Being more honest. Going to bed early. Meditating more. Quitting a job you absolutely hate. Being kind to a stranger. Taking a break when you need one. Looking after your body. Crying when you need to. Putting yourself first. Leaving your comfort zone. Hugging someone you love. Trying out new things. Telling your loved ones how much you care. Taking care of your mental health. Trusting your intuition.

I have said it before and I’m gonna say it again.

The kind of person you get married to will determine how far you progress in life.

Technology in healthcare is truly amazing!

As an ER RN, I carry this little powerhouse with me every shift: a mobile device that lets me access the full EMR right from my phone.

I can chart medications, review lab results, document assessments, and even make quick calls to colleagues during codes or urgent situations.

It's basically a computer in my pocket. 🖥️📱

@rundriveng Please 🙏 I am struggling with drug calculation.

[Mercy Ebimoghan @mercyebimo]

@rundriveng I am just seeing this... School is going on well and life is beautiful regardless. Thanks for checking 🙏

@SirJarus @the_beardedsina I had to resort to this for my kids because mosquitoes were having a feast in my house and it worked.

@HOLARMEEDEY1 A laptop will be of great importance for academic activities.

@MrMekzy_ Just give him an idea and see him replicate it tomorrow.

@rundriveng I am sick and tired of explaining to folks that prayers won't do for them what they ought to do for themselves. How will you not read and prepare for an exam and expect to pass because you/your pastor prayed for your pen ?

If you believe someone’s religious affiliation, race, tribe, economic status,sexuality justifies violence or death, please unfollow and block me.

I do not engage with that kind of hatred.

People are getting interviews for that NHS Scotland job. If you know any nurse in Nigeria that has their IELTS and CBT, please tell them.

For every girl rewriting her story, I see you💕

You are not too loud. Not too ambitious. Not too soft. You are exactly what the world needs.

Let’s keep opening doors, redefining what’s possible, and walking in rooms that once doubted we belonged.

There is a WOMAN somewhere right now who has:

No boyfriend
No helper
No sneaky links

Just by herself and fixing her life.

Wherever you are Sis, you will WIN.

@AskMichaelTaiwo Speaking from many years of experience. The good thing is we don't treat people right because we expect them to same but because it is the proper thing to do.

As emergency nurses’ week begins, I find myself reflecting on why I do what I do, and what being an ER nurse means to me. I do this in an open letter to America:

Dear America,

You ask me what I do for a living, and I tell you, “I’m an ER nurse”. You then meet me with a response that goes a little something like this:

“Wow, you must see a lot of crazy shit, huh? What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever seen?”

So, I think to myself for a second, in silence. I think about the shit I’ve seen.

And then I typically just laugh it off and tell you about that time someone tried to sell me a story about how they “accidentally” fell on a bottle of cologne in an attempt to explain why it is now lodged so far up their rectum that it’s going to require surgery to take it out. Or maybe I’ll even tell you about that time someone signed in with a chief complaint of “I broke my dick”, and they actually did—bravo.

While these stories are funny, maybe even crazy for some, they don’t actually come anywhere close to the actual shit we see. So why don’t I tell you the truth? I tell you these funny stories instead, because you’re asking for an answer to a question that you are not even remotely ready to hear.

America…We. See. Some. Shit.

I don’t expect you to get it, I don’t expect you to understand the weight of what you’re asking me. When you ask me to tell you the craziest thing I’ve ever seen, if you got an honest answer, this is what it would look like:

I’ve seen life come into this world, and I’ve seen it leave. I’ve seen the wonders of a little drug called TPA work right before my eyes. I’ve seen trauma victims who otherwise would not have made it, make it. I’ve seen a man go pulseless in front of me, only to see that same man sit up after being defibrillated and ask me what just happened. I’ve seen people refuse care that could save their life, because they just can’t do it anymore.

I’ve seen a mother fall to her knees after we’ve told her that her baby is gone. I’ve seen people burned beyond recognition. I’ve seen the look on a loved ones’ face after we’ve told them “we did everything we could”. I’ve seen countless people hold on just long enough to make it to us, and I’ve been blessed enough to see those same people walk out of those double doors at the end of the day. Most of all, I’ve seen what an incredible difference we have the opportunity to make in another’s life.

So, America, to answer your question, what’s the craziest thing I’ve ever seen? The power of resiliency. The power of teamwork. The power of medicine. The power of prayer.

Being an ER nurse means I get to be a part of something so much bigger than myself, and that is such a blessing. Thank you to all of the people that trust their lives to us. Thank you to all of my co-workers that make the tough times bearable. I’ve been blessed to work beside the most amazing humans.

Shout out to all the nurses, doctors, paramedics, respiratory therapists, radiology techs, pharmacists, PCTs & social workers that share this crazy ER life with me!

We laugh, we cry, we save lives. I wouldn’t trade this shit for anything.

@nurseogunleye Congratulations

[Dr. Ify Aniebo Rhodes-Vivour @IfyAniebo]

Lenacapavir is a recent innovation in HIV treatment that is a two-dose-a-year injection that provides six months of protection against HIV infection at a time.

It improves compliance for those who struggle with daily pills, offering convenience, privacy, and consistent medication levels to manage or prevent HIV. 

Whats amazing is Nigerians can access this medicine for $40 ( N60,000) per person per year - slashed from $28,000 (N41.9 million). Lenacapavir has been shown to be up to 100 percent effective in preventing new HIV infections. 

This is groundbreaking!
