The downfall of healthcare was when we started rating your hospital stay based on how nice everyone was to you and how good the food was. 🤡

Hospital culture is so toxic that staff members are afraid of calling off because they’re sick due to fear of leaving their team short staffed and fear of attendance record that they come to work sick and then infect the whole unit. What do we need to do to change this?

Surgeons complaining about patients not walking in the biggest nursing shortage / staffing crisis I've ever seen is just embarrassing. Come work the floor with us and see why we don't have time to walk a 2 assist down the halls for 15 minutes.

Three years ago today was (unknowingly) the catalyst for the rest of my life.
I was still a tech. I was working 60 hours a week because I wasn’t going to school. I had just been rejected from PA school. I didn’t really want to do it anyway. I was stuck but I loved my job.

One of my serious pet peeves is the push back med/surg gets when advocating for a higher level of care. I cannot be checking BPs every 15 minutes when I have four other patients!

I looked at my team of friends who were so proud of me. I said “I’m going to nursing school.” That night we booked the trip to Paris. And three days later my ex and I broke up.

My parents truly just told me, their daughter, a nurse, that Trump has handled the COVID crisis perfectly and I should stop listening to CNN, MSNBC, etc because it’s all fake news.

When I was a tech there were nurses that I admired so much followed them around like a puppy dog to learn from them.
Yesterday as 2 of the techs were sitting next to me, asking me questions and asking me them to show them how to start an IV I realized I’m that nurse for them 🥺

Today was the worst day I’ve had as a nurse. I didn’t pass a single med on time. I had a patient 100+ years old asking me to let her die all day and screaming at the top of her lungs. Another one asking for pain meds every 15 min. My “easy” patient who was a nurse & questioned me
