NEW PAPER: Nursing is NOT a set of tasks. Our theoretical proposition elucidates the complexity of daily work. Understanding the complexity and interconnectednes of nursing care (and expertise needed) reveals the risks of staffing by task allocation sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@andreabooth7 @ellenleroux Thank you!

Dearest @YolandaWalsh and @ellenleroux You guys are amazing Well done on this achievement & I can’t wait to celebrate you! #Masters #completed

It's time to reveal the future of nutrition and health. Here is the Hava Keynote 2025. The world is in the middle of an epidemic of obesity and disease. Just like with COVID, the pharmaceutical industry is getting ready to profit by medicating everybody – and this time for life! But wait. While satiety drugs like Ozempic help many, perhaps we don't need to medicate every man, woman, and child on Earth? Perhaps we can instead eat higher-satiety foods? And become healthy, fit, and strong, perhaps even without drugs? This seems like an obvious idea, but nobody has made it simple to do, until Hava. It was arguably impossible until brand-new AI technology unlocked this opportunity. Check out our latest keynote video, summarizing this potentially world-changing approach and our rapidly improving product, the Hava app. If you've already tried it recently, you'll also get a sneak peek at a few extremely cool features we'll release later this month. If you want to try Hava, a free tier is available. Just download the app. iPhone: apps.apple.com/us/app/hava-ea… Android: play.google.com/store/apps/det… If you want more people to know about this, please share this post and video. Thank you for your support! We could not do this without you.🙏

In 1930, Norway was crushed by the Great Depression. Unemployment hit 40%. 1 out of 3 people fled the country. Today, it's the poster child of prosperity & happiness. Meanwhile, America isn't even in the top 20. Here's how Norway rebuilt happiness from nothing:

Stilfontein update. We know there are about 700 people trapped at 1700m below ground at 11 Shaft. The police have prevented community volunteers from lowering food and water to the trapped miners. They have received no supplies since 24 December.

@TowerOfLondon @CostaCoffee Kudos to @Pret for saving my dignity. I suggest you rally the local borough council to make toilet services more accessible outside the #TowerIfLondon so that your restaurant does not have a toilet queue lined up through it

@GuguStatu I'm just curious - why the nasal cannula together with the CPAP mask? Can't your CPAP be connected to your oxygen concentrator? Without the N/C you should get a better mask seal

@YolandaWalsh Seems wrong to like this ... We have expected staff to continue as before, we have not talked about the trauma. We see our colleagues obviously experiencing PTSD but do nothing. What does it say about us when we cannot, or do not, help our friends and colleagues.

Warning: This whole thread is incredibly triggering if you worked in an ICU at the height of the Covid pandemic. Bawled my eyes out. Very little has been done to address the trauma and moral distress experienced by clinicians.
