Thank a nurse today.

At this point in this pandemic the surge is so bad I’m scared to even eat at work. I don’t want to eat in the break room because anyone can just walk in and take off their mask. We have had outbreaks on multiple units. I don’t want to become a victim of COVID but I need to eat 😭

I fucking hate people so damn much I can’t even. People don’t understand that they are potentially killing their family members. That or they think they’ll magically be the exception. YOU WONT!!

Every time I see someone out in public wearing their mask wrong on purpose I get so irrationally mad. It’s because as a nurse it feels like a slap in the face. 😷😤🤬

UGHHHHHH I hate mornings 😭😤 Yet I work day shift...

My hospital is over 100% capacity and we haven’t even hit the worst part of the surge. I’m seriously worried about what it’s going to be like after thanksgiving 😰

Why stay at home and be sad about the fact I can’t see my family on Thanksgiving when my husband AND I can sign up to work today and get bonus pay with holiday pay 😂😂 Gimme dat 💸💰

BINGO

YASSSSSSS 👏👏👏👏👏

Patients who were placement issues have always annoyed me because it’s just a waste of a bed. But now that we are in a surge and the hospital doesn’t have enough beds. I’m so freaking frustrated. I feel like facilities shouldn’t be allowed to refuse patients right now 🤬😤

THREAD: I just spent 3 days with frontline workers at hospitals in a part of Appalachia where hospitalizations have more than doubled in the last month. But hospital staff say many in their hard-hit communities still don’t believe COVID is real. Misinformation is rampant.

THERE 👏 IS 👏 NO 👏POINT 👏 IN 👏 WEARING👏 A 👏MASK 👏IF 👏YOU 👏HAVE 👏YOUR 👏NOSE 👏OUT! 👏 KEEP 👏YOUR 👏NOSE👏 IN 👏YOUR 👏MASK! 👏

And now it’s happened... I have a stage 1 pressure ulcer in my nose. Thanks COVID.

When the vaccine is just around the corner my husband and I have fallen victim of COVID. My husband and I have don’t nothing but work for the last 9 months and of course it would happen like this...

CPR on a healthy person in sudden cardiac arrest who could make a full recovery= good CPR on a dying 98 year old frail woman who is at peace with death and would like to die with dignity= bad The public needs more education about live-saving/extraordinary measures

Hello everyone! 2 years ago I left the hospital and now I have such an amazing job I’ve actually started a business on the side. It’s called Second Chance candles. I’m upcycling jars and used candles candles making new ones! Check out my Facebook page! facebook.com/profile.php?id…

I give so much props to all the nurses out there working in the hospitals. I honestly couldn’t do it anymore because I ended up having a huge mental breakdown 2 years ago. I feel guilty at times not being at the bedside anymore but it’s not worth shattering my mental health again
