@BrandonForIdaho @LilaGraceRose @michaelknowles Where can i find that?

I’d like to interview an ex-porn actor for my podcast. Any recommendation?

@RNSuperHero For CAUTI or SA concerns??? Or am I missing something else?? I have had specific residents that any pericare was 2-person for SA concerns. But never for CAUTI - but I can imagine a desk nurse has been doing research on it and has decided that 2 people would be better.... alas

Step down charge nurse just ripped me a new one because I told her in 10 years of nursing I have never heard of foley insertion being a 2 RN sign off procedure for documentation……ma’am I’m sorry this little unit is your whole world but that’s simply not a standard thing

@rbarbosa91 Because very few interns carry home ventilators in their scrub pockets, but pens...

Rounding in the surgical ICU this week, where I have free and unrestricted access to equipment costing many hundreds of thousands of $$$… but they absolutely **refuse** to allow blue or black pens to be stocked anywhere near there. 😑 #make_it_make_sense

@nurse_hangry And that's coming from a nurse that hated it. But if they aren't scoring, it's not that big of a deal.

@nurse_hangry Rather have CIWA and not need it than to need it and not have it...

@RanaAwdish Seems like a small thing. Unless it's your kid - and then it is the last straw. Fix it. NOW.

Empathy must be embedded in EMR design. This is not ok.

@csrussi @MayoClinic @MayoClinicEM Can't wait to see the new bird in person. I used to live right across 52 from Saint Marys and watch the birds come and go from my patio... Congrats on keeping it cutting-edge!

Low altitude testing of a remote monitoring tech in our brand new aircraft! Successful test! @MayoClinic @MayoClinicEM

@nursekelsey Cal King is the best! I don't have space for the width of a King, but I love the extra length!!

@CMichaelGibson A math PhD uses it, why not a nurse?

Should a nurse with a doctorate degree be allowed to use the title doctor in patient interactions ? Why or why not?

@TheBlondeRN Why are you wearing a doctor stethoscope?

@TheBlondeRN Can I borrow your pen?

@TheBlondeRN "I must have the brand-name version of that little pink pill"

@NoobieMatt The anti-vaccine rise is what breaks my heart about the current state of healthcare and "rights" and everything else. You have the ability to vilify vaccines "because" of the success of vaccines... The greatest medical invention, and yet people scorn it...

For those who have forgotten why vaccination matters, and why school policies are a key part of public health… Exhibits A and B. #FOAMed #FOAMems

@thesingingdoc I suspect you were taught other things in medical school that have since been proven inaccurate. At one point, they didn't believe germ theory as well. Knowledge increases, we learn as we go...

While in medical school years ago, we were taught that you could only get shingles once; and only years later after having chickenpox as a child. Then the chickenpox and shingles vaccines were developed. Now someone can get shingles several times. I wonder what happened?

@mommacat715 @Cardiac_Cutie What ID info?

Was it Katie Duke who posted a pic like this and got fired for it? Help me remember

@justsome_np @Cardiac_Cutie The logic was that there was a massive wreck that night, covered by news, and it could be inferred that they wreck victims were treated there.

@Cardiac_Cutie Why would anyone get in trouble for posting a pic of an empty room with zero PHI????!??

@plastic_baggy17 I did that once - I feel your pain

Update: showed up to get my braces off and was informed that my appointment is July 7 and not June 7 😭🙃

Here is the thing to understand about flattening the curve. It only works if we take necessary measures before they seem necessary. And if it works, people will think we over-reacted. We have to be willing to look like we over-reacted.

@Rklawton @CatDocMD My friend Luke routinely uses his car key…

@CatDocMD I've got itchy ears. My dad had itchy ears too. He'd use the head of a nail to give his ear canal a good scratch. Got any recommendations for folks like us?

@CatDocMD How else am I to get the black goo out?
