Vascularization of the heart

It's early, cold & still dark outside but a dedicated group is showing up to keep the healthcare system running. Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, & Happy Holidays to all. Special thanks to everyone working today.

Great tips if you’re looking for infant/toddler pain killers 👇

@DHerbertCBC @canadaKeaton So it’s unsafe for school buses and bus drivers to drive but safe for parents to drive their kids to school and for teachers to drive to school?

@canadaKeaton at this point, yes.

The #Kamloops-#Thompson School District has just announced no school buses will be running today due to unsafe road conditions. #bced

Two staff members at Kamloops' Royal Inland Hospital were assaulted by a patient. bc.ctvnews.ca/video?cid=sm%3…

Staffing: Can you come in extra again today? We’ll pay triple time. Nurse: (does the math $$$$$$!) Staffing: ? Nurse: Naw, I’m good. The nurses are tired.

@PennyDaflos This happens in nursing programs all over BC whether it's an LPN or RN program. Has happened for years even way before Covid. There has always been immense pressure from instructors to show up for clinical even when sick because missing hours could mean you fail the whole year.

What fresh nonsense is this??

@nurse_nomad @LGSentinel You can self refer to home health or to community wound clinics in BC

@C_Mellenthin I love this!!

Yup, das Kleid wurde fertig! #Frozen #AnnaTravelDress

the RN shortage: I’m torn between laughing and crying

@PlantMamaRN Worth every penny. Also use their cameras outside. Love those as well.

@SeijPonchie @MBernardoNews So true @SeijPonchie This has been my experience and that of many of my colleagues. This is a big reason so many HCWs are leaving their professions or questioning if this job is even worth it anymore.

Premier, it’s not just Dr. Henry at risk. I spoke with a tearful frontline health worker last night who says insane anti-vaxxers are now calling hospital staff, yelling at them and making threats. I told her to record all their phone numbers and report these CRIMINALS to police.

@MBernardoNews There are many vacancies

However, @Interior_Health is not sharing how many vacancies still need to be filled as recruitment efforts continue. Some former RIH workers say they simply chose to quit or move to other #BC communities with easier workloads. #bcpoli @BCNursesUnion @HospEmpUnion @bcgeu

Tuesday's when we find out how many surgeries have been cancelled across #BC thanks to more #COVID19 hospitalizations. Health Minister @adriandix promised that update last week after we learned a 70-year-old grandmother died waiting for urgent care at the ER in #Kamloops. #bcpoli

@criticalcarej @adriandix Actually getting vacation time approved would be a huge incentive for me

How to get nurses back: Differential pay for nights $10/hr, more paid time off. Like 8 weeks vacation for everyone. Paid Education days, and unlimited psychology coverage. Thoughts fellow nurses? @adriandix #BCNU #COVID19BC #CovidWarriors #nonurses #NurseTwitter

@SaltyLikeSaline Ohh I've never thought to count the number of times I'm called such "lovely" names during a shift. I'll have to give this a try on my next shift.

If I had a dollar for every time my pt called me a bitch today, I’d have 47 dollars

@suerobinsyvr Thank you ❤️
