Thoughts from the ICU: A Thread

I saw a nurse put a ventilated patient’s hair in braids the other day and I can’t stop thinking about it. Part of who we are is how we choose to present ourselves to the world, and so much of this is lost when we are critically ill.

Every single part of this thread I can relate to as a nurse in the COVID ICU. If you’re debating getting the vaccine, please read this thread to understand what people go through if they’re hospitalized from covid.

I remember in nursing school when we had to wear special socks to clinical as part of our uniform and would get sent home if they weren’t correct. Now, I wear socks with tacos and llamas on them. Oh how the times have changed.

One of the hardest things I’ve come to realize as an ICU nurse, is there are worse things than death. More common than you think, death is a blessing to some people.

[Kat BSN, RN, CCRN🩺✨ @SaltyLikeSaline]

One of the hardest things to do as a nurse is continue to have hope alongside your pt’s family when you know deep down that they won’t make it.

Relationships are meant to be happy and positive and loving. Period. Y’all can have a bad day. But you’re not supposed to feel stressed out, confused, angry, unloved, etc the MAJORITY of the time. That’s unacceptable.

How did it take me this long to find the perfect analogy to explain the need for anticoagulation in Afib to my fellow Southerners?!

Me: “Blood is the consistency of gravy. If you stop stirring your roux evenly—“
Pt: “It clumps!”
Me: “Here’s your gravy thinner.”

To-go margaritas was the peak of covid.

My pt *Tim was admitted with Covid. A relatively healthy guy. Exercises more than I do if you don't count the steps I put in at work.

It's rare that Covid patients are already intubated before coming to the ICU, which can be both a blessing and a curse... ICU + covid =

Remember when they shoved a senior citizen so hard he cracked his skull on the pavement and he started bleeding out of his ears?
