NaviHealth is the worst company I’ve ever interacted with in the hospital setting. Not only do they waste your time doing Peer-to-Peer evaluations, they hide under the guise of anonymity, declining services for deserving pts, dragging out hospital stays and then decline SNF.

“If you are undecided between intubating and not intubating, go with intubating, you can always extubate a live patient, but you can’t intubate a dead one” My ICU attending during residency

I will personally never understand why some parents decide the best course of action before visiting their child in intensive care is to go smoke some weed beforehand

Okay here we go. I know your curriculum still teaches them (RN&med students) but here is why if you tell me I usually will not do anything with that information.

normalize telling your patients they’re getting unsafe care because your hospital puts profits over patient safety

Debriefing isn't just for after codes and deaths. Pause and internally reflect when things went well and why, so you can look to optimize when similar situations unfold in the future.

Finding the balance between improving as a new provider, developing a professional relationship w/patients, & juggling rounds w/docs is more difficult than I expected Scheduling, rounding, consults, actual problems, discharges, coordination of care, 12+dr practice styles..tough

Tomorrow is my last shift as a bedside nurse and while many of you reading this are probably thinking how much you hate it...I loved it. Yes there are things I hate about how good nurses are HIGHLY undervalued, but I will greatly miss bedside. #NurseLife

Neurosurgeons really be like “keep the BP well controlled but also shut off sedation every hour to do your neuro checks”

It's always "who's the nurse?" and never "how's the nurse?"

I buy a @medelita white coat for clinicals last semester...and now a dozen doctors are wearing them at my hospital after a handful of them asked me where I got it. #NurseLife #NPlife #LookSharp

If there is any silver lining to working during Covid-19, it has to be the minimization in the volume of visitors in the hospital. #NurseLife

I’ve seen a lot of people posting photos of themselves getting the COVID vaccine and idk why but I’m surprised that so many people don’t know where the middle of the deltoid is...

Applying a purewick to a patient while they are engrossed in 50 shades of Gray on TV is....not how I expected to be winked at today. #NurseLife
