RN Meets World

The next few months in healthcare are going to be a marathon, not a sprint. Take care of yourself. Take care of each other. Be kind. Communicate. Stick together. Give encouragement when you see opportunity. AND WASH YOUR HANDS.

Hi 👋🏼 still alive here! 5 years, a new specialty, and a whole lot of change in healthcare later.

Accepted a new job and have several FIGS tops and pants I’m selling heavily discounted. Mostly size L. Would anyone be interested if I posted here?

@Kati_Kleber @keepitrealrn I’m an ER nurse with my CEN/CCRN and ICU experience. I get treated like an idiot when I go up to the floor sometimes!

@Kati_Kleber @keepitrealrn I think that’s more of a weird hospital hierarchy thing though than it is a general age/experience deal. Lack of respect for the knowledge/experience of those working in less critical areas than you. I see it at my hospital!

What do you think about the term "baby nurse"? (It's a newer word / term of endearment for brand new nurses.)

pro tip: today is not the day to use “who is the president?” to assess mental status #nurseproblems

I cannot wait for the day that enough people are invested in the fight against ALS that a tweet saying “end ALS” can go viral alongside tweets about politics. On that day, this guy with ALS will get out of his wheelchair and dance like no one is watching.

mood: haven’t worn my Christmas scrubs all month and didn’t even notice til December 22nd.

Dr. Fauci on @CNN: "I took a trip up there to the North Pole, and I vaccinated Santa Claus myself. I measured his level of immunity, and he is good to go. He can come down the chimney. He can leave the presents. You have nothing to worry about."

@rn_critcare absolutely. Feeling especially grinchy this year. I could work all the holidays and barely care

Leaving work this morning one of my co-workers wished me a Merry Christmas and I legit had to choke back a sob when I realized how close it is. I've really disconnected myself from this holiday season. Anyone else having trouble embracing the festive spirit?

Anyone have any good articles about COVID, nurses and mental health?

@choo_ek @threadreaderapp unroll

Once again, I have spoken.

As US hospitals make the necessary shuffle to accommodate the current wave, I would like to remind leadership about the study done on the psychological status of frontline hospital workers during NYC's spring Covid surge (thread).

Keep the whole family safe this holiday season with Fauci on a Couchi!

Wearing my lucky scrubs to my Monday evening ER shift because I am a scientist and I believe in science

remember kids... you’ve got 3 weeks to listen to whatever embarrassing bops you want before you have to worry about it showing up on your 2021 Spotify wrapped

hold up, Pink’s daughter can SING!! #DisneyHolidaySingalong

As ICU nurses we used to make a pact about shaving each other's legs, plucking stray chin hairs & what Dr we wanted in our care. Now we are making pacts to tell our families when it's time to let us go if we end up in ICU with Covid. 2020. Year of the nurse.

For those of you who have had COVID, what was your first symptom?

I’m so ready to leave the ER.

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
