I feel so seen. This was literally me. Except I had tea in my hand instead of Starbucks #nurse #nursejohnn youtube.com/shorts/30fOK...

This used to happen all the time. Toddler crawling on the floor in the c-diff room eating fries. Literally gasped when I walked in #icunurse #nurse youtube.com/shorts/SVkHP...

As a nurse, this is absolutely ridiculous. Every part of the team is needed and all team members are professionals. #nurse #departmentofeducation #dryoun youtube.com/shorts/4c2sW...

I love this. Quiet dreams don't get noticed. Show up bold #jonsaxx youtube.com/shorts/e0rqK...

I hate transitioning between phones. Nothing compares to my #Blackberry. Now I'm trading a headphone jack,SD card slot,& a Spen with features that I didn't even realize I had for a better camera. A better camera to capture once in a lifetime childhood memories w/out carrying my professional camera 😔

When you give your sick kid medicine, and their first question is "Are there dyes in this?!?!". Yes, I'm sorry that Walmart ran out of the dye free and delivered this one. Risk vs benefit for one dose when you don't feel well 🤷‍♀️

COVID cases are up throughout the country. I talked to doctors about where cases are highest right now and what folks should do to stay healthy: www.huffpost.com/entry/covid-...

Not someone telling me that it's just psychosomatic &there's nothing crawling on my legs. Uh, excuse me sir, I was bit by numerous insects earlier&that plus my allergies makes my skin very uncomfortable.

This is why the new grad night shift males #nurses all thought I was dramatic. I'd get this type of report and then walk in the room, and it was chaos. I'd make them fix their mess or completely dismiss them. youtube.com/shorts/faw4U...

All the parents were looking at my crazy as I was about to pull someone else's child out of the pool after they started choking in the water. Thank goodness the swim instructors know I'm a nurse,and if I'm moving, everyone better start moving. #pooltime #swimclass #watersafety

Same. Infants on ventilators… Athletic teens with MIS-C requiring vasopressors while their heart function looks like a huge anterior wall MI… long COVID cases impacting school and other daily activities… My family will continue to get vaccinated and I’ll continue recommending it to my patients

I hate when I get in an Uber and it smells like smoke. My allergies do not mix with cigarette smoke. So glad I had a mask on #ick #allergies

@terrellgrice.bsky.social is literally on a whole other level these days. @joshgroban.bsky.social on the blue wall?! Top notch celebrities only these days. So proud of how far he's come #blackboymagic

When it's 95° outside and you're sitting at a kids sports game without your sunscreen on 🤦🏿‍♀️🤦🏿‍♀️🤦🏿‍♀️

This has literally been the topic of 95% of my conversations this week. The loud, wrong opinions I've been dealing with this week have been extremely frustrating.

youtu.be/PTm6JTlxTU8?... This was such an interesting watch. Anytime I've tried to allow a child around me to have a slight bit of Independence, strangers stop it. Even letting them order at a counter, an adult takes over. We are so unaccustomed to allowing #children to do anything independently.

Happy Earth Day! I hope everyone takes a few minutes today to breathe in some fresh air, touch some grass, and enjoy nature.

There are very few reasons for a pediatric office to be TWO hours behind schedule. Emergencies happen but two hours is crazy. They should give people the option to reschedule if they know they're 2 hours behind when you check in. #healthcare #nurselife

Starting off the day with the little jamming to the pi song by @ravenscimaven.bsky.social . Happy Pi Day! youtu.be/eEE33nMve-I?...

This new @southwest change will completely eliminate any motivation to pick them over another carrier. Especially if the price will be the same after paying for checked bags.

Always learning something new #melanin #science @ravenscimaven.bsky.social

When you realize that Hank Hammers on Rubble & Crew is voiced by one of the @hgtv #propertybrothers who wrote Builder Brothers: Big Plans children's book. It's a very meta moment for my little one who loves the book.

Every once in a while the bad behavior of other people's children tests my patience. Especially when parents let their children physically harm other children and don't say a word.

Love this.

Nurses know what works—and what doesn’t—at every level of care. When they lead, innovation thrives, and patients benefit. It’s time to amplify our voices. #NursesLead #HealthcareReform #nurse

As I reflect on 2024, I can honestly say there were more challenges & lessons than I expected. So my word for 2025 is JOY—not just as a fleeting feeling, but as a practice, a mindset, and a reminder to savor life’s beauty. Here’s to a joyful 2025! 😍 What’s your word for the year?

Teaching a patient to manage their own care feels amazing—until you realize they can’t afford their meds. Nurses see the miracles and the cracks in the system every day. Some days are harder than others #nurse #healthcare #insurance

“Homeschooling is really about curating what their children’s education is going to look like,” Khadijah Z. Ali-Coleman said. www.thebaltimorebanner.com/opinion/colu...

This is how it's done. Taking a horrid situation and becoming the face of a national campaign. Dr. @ravenscimaven.bsky.social is that girl!!! Love it! 👏

This is why I'm constantly urging people to get screened. It's so important. Iron infusions were life changing for me #nurse

I need to find someone who can make #glutenfree tamales without corn. Corn allergies are stopping me from enjoying tamales this time of year. Little Southern California me would have never imagined an adulthood without #tamales #foodallergies

Every time I accompany someone 2a MD appointment, I'm struck by how many nuances would be missed if I was absent.It can be so challenging navigating the healthcare system. You shouldn't need to bring a nurse to make sure your needs are addressed&you get good care #healthcare #nurse #patientadvocate

When I plan dinner, salad with a protein(chicken, salmon,chickpeas) always sounds like an amazing option. Then when it's time for dinner, I never want salad 🤦‍♀️ I need to change my #mealprep #healthyoptions #glutenfree #foodallergies

Some days, all I need is a quick walk in the morning sun. It clears my head and boosts my mood to start the day. South Florida's cold snap was not part of my morning walking plan #brr #fall #AddToBlackSky #MorningExercise #SunshineBoost

Remote patient monitoring really is the future of healthcare—personalized, efficient, and right at your fingertips. #RPM #medicaldevice #lifestylemedicine

Staying on top of vaccines is so important. Costco made it easy for me to schedule and get my Novavax vaccine today. Nurses have to lead by example #vaccinessavelives #nurse #blacksky
