My child can breathe or cough in my face and I literally think it’s the cutest thing ever

I sent my 19 year old patient home to hospice today so that’s how my shift went

Your favorite CFRN study materials… and go!

I had a DREAM that I forgot to sign the bottom of my bill at a restaurant (aka didn’t write my tip in) and I simply woke up in a ~panic~

Those who wanted their kids to be close in age- what’s the best age gap?

Few things make me nervous at work in the ICU. This is always one of them.

I can’t stop damnit

Okay but honestly I’m gonna wreck us if I drive it 😭

Terrible unexpected coding patient at beginning of shift on last shift 🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝 Unexpectedly coding my stable patient before I got report on my first day back in 8 days Bye

After searching through the Marketplace and attempting to sign up for private insurance on my own- my only conclusion is that insurance is indeed a scam And the worst. And I hate it.

I’ve never contemplated reporting a NP to the board of nursing until my shift yesterday. I’ve never seen such incompetence and negligence. I’ve slept on it and I’m still mad.

I’ve been really contemplating going from ICU to L&D. Five years in the ICU and I am burnt out. I’m not happy. Having my son opened my eyes to the L&D world and it would be nice for the majority of my patients to have a positive outcome. Anyone made this switch?

Yesterday I noticed a small amount of vaginal bleeding on my 69 yo F pt, persuaded my MICU team to place a GYN c/s, convinced my pt to go through w/ a transvaginal US, and ~probably~ helped her find advanced endometrial cancer. Women’s health is often ignored. That felt good

Not PT walking a patient around on 0.7 of precedex that is head bobbing/falling asleep to the point where they’re basically dragging them back to bed 😩😭

Caught hyper K+/sine wave on my pts tele and grabbed attending. Said if we did not give bicarb/calcium the patient was going to code. They did not listen. The patient coded. Due to multi system organ failure I’m sure that outcome was inevitable but idk if it had to happen today

Got over strep just to start feeling bad and test positive for Covid 😭

Yesterday a fire broke out on my MICU. A high flow, patient, & pt’s bed were on fire. We were able to contain the fire and get 6 pts out of danger in <5 minutes. 3 were intubated, 3 were CRRT, all on oxygen. It was fucking chaos.
