Polarization doesn’t just divide opinions — it fractures communities, erodes trust, and weighs heavily on our mental health. In a time of growing division and misinformation, how do we rebuild connection and belonging?

What if I said to you that sometimes painful endings are the start of something beautiful? What if I said to you that as a nurse, we do not give ourselves grace and time to heal (we are really bad at this). Change can be healing. The Gritty Nurse Season 6 is here! youtu.be/XIITOq_b-TE?...

New Studio, New Guest Host, New SHOW! The Gritty Nurse is returning in September! The one and only Matthew Shepherd joins Amie Archibald-Varley RN, MN- Women's Health in the first episode of Season 6--

Direct The comeback is always stronger than the setback. For anyone who's ever poured their heart into a passion project only to face burnout, this one's for you. I needed to step away to remember my "why." @atypicalpodcast.bsky.social

Although it's not Monday, mindfulness can be practiced every day. We're listening to this podcast, and we like it. #mindfulness #meditation

Raise your hand if hashtag#Mondays feel like a personal attack?? Seriously, the start of the work week or the start of a nursing/healthcare rotation can drop a ton of bricks on your vibe. That wave of "ugh, here we go again" anxiety? Been there, felt that./1 podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/t...

Remember that "perfect plan" you had? Life probably laughed. 😂 We're chatting about why embracing the unexpected is key to a fulfilling life in our latest Atypical episode. What's the biggest detour you've taken that led somewhere amazing? Share below! 👇 #AtypicalPodcast #Detours #LifeJourney

What I Have been up to lately....

I havent been on here in a while but wanted to give an update!! New podcast ALERT!

I love how Poilievre spent two years and an election trying to enrage Canadians into fury over how much they spend on taxes but then loses the election and his own seat… and charges Canadians taxpayers $1.38M to run in a byelection instead of resigning.

This week, I was reminded that I am exactly where I am meant to be. There are times in our lives when we may seek out opportunities, changes in plans, employment, or even a new career. Not everything is FOR YOU. Not everything is MEANT for you. Not every space DESERVES you.

“We always have done it this way” is the death of inspiration and innovation in healthcare. @grittynurse.bsky.social discuss moving beyond traditional administrative roles and cultivate the kind of leadership that inspires innovation and drives meaningful change. youtu.be/wrKSvzw0L0U?...

Gritty Nurse Podcast examines the scientific literature, highlighting how Kennedy and others misinterpret & twist data to fit their narratives. There are real-world consequences of these lies and we will call it out. STAY MAD. youtu.be/tklY30T5rwY

Dear @Doge If there is nothing to hide. Hide nothing

Black people do not experience less pain than white folks. Our skin is not thicker than white folks. We do not have different kidney function than white folks. Our bodies don’t take to vaccines differently than white folks. Race is a social construct. However Racism is very real.

Doug Ford is solely responsible for the ongoing healthcare crisis in Ontario because healthcare in the provinces is the jurisdiction of the premier. Ford failed nurses, physicians and patients. He could try to help us, but he was too busy suing nurses.

Yes!!! It has always been about this, but now we are seeing it completely unmasked in it’s truest ugly form. My dad left the US for Canada many years ago with us and said “the biggest crime in the US today, is to be poor.” Let’s not pet this terrible shadow infiltrate the great white north.

I’m still waiting for people to realize that this isn’t about the right or left or center of politics. This is about the rich vs the poor.

I saw this post online. Just be a decent and straightforward Canadian who understands the need to protect our beautiful and fair land. Don't be a weasel or spread the rage bullshit of Danielle Smith and gang. Nobody from outside can beat us. Stand up to the quislings.

I've been nominated for a @ywcahamilton Women of Distinction Award! Join me and my fellow nominees at the #WODHamiltonHalton Gala on March 5. Thank you to the amazing Dr. Gundy for nominating me! #health #healthcare #womenshealth #womensrights #women #womenempowerment #award #speaker #author #nurse

the sickness of israel is the sickness of the united states and europe

Nursing and medical schools need to test applicants not just merit or academic achievements, but for character, integrity, equity and ethics She explicitly was breaking Black babies bones in the neonatal intensive care unit. Tell me again there is no racism in healthcare….

My name is Simone H, RN, BSN, PCCN. I am a nurse in the United States of America. I am calling for the immediate release of Dr Hussam Abu Safiya abducted by Israeli forces. I am calling for protection of hospitals and medical workers in Gaza. And an end to the genocide. #FreeDrHussamAbuSafiya

My name is Jordan Varley. I’m a social worker. I am also calling for Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya’s release and the protection of all hospitals, innocent civilians and humanitarian workers.

Donald Trump is a total charlatan grifting off the Bible.

This is actually wild. If anyone would actually read the Bible, Jesus when he saw people selling goods— he cursed and chased them out of the church, flipping chair and tables. Anyone buying that— sold themselves a long time ago…

Today the great divide is not between left and right. It’s between democracy and oligarchy. Let me explain.

Prime Minister of Poland Donald Tusk and French President Emmanuel Macron mock Donald Trump and then post it on social media

Ok voting against all are bad— but they voted against Kids Help Phone? Who the fuck votes against Kids Help Phone?? Conservatives— they voted against Kids Help Phone.

And they work at universities at every level and will go out of their way to step on others to advance their own career ahead and engage in vindictive behaviour

What we need to talk about is why people are celebrating the actions of the CEO killer. It speaks volumes about what Americans and the world think about the American healthcare system. The American healthcare system is BROKEN and has been for a LONG time. Let’s see how legacy media covers this.

Please remember these “Canadians” who would rather throw dirt and on our flag and praise a convicted felon and rapist. They are not Canadians. They are cultists. No matter how much you despise JT, you can get lost with that 51st state crap. Talking heads.

Yup. We should call them out EVERY SINGLE TIME

The upper 1% of society asking if “we” have lost our moral compass. Did you ask the same when Donald Trump was elected as President? Did you ask the same as many Gaza children are slaughtered? Don’t ask about “our “ moral compass when yours is spinning out of control.

The gall of this man.

Liberal MP Mark Holland 🇨🇦 - "If you're against abortion, and you're against contraception, and you are against sexual education, then I'm sorry, you are against women's freedom altogether." If you're against all that, then you're a Conservative. #cdnpoli #peipoli

It is clear from his interview today that Trump is going to expect Bondi and Patel to investigate and prosecute his political opponents. Three questions: How will the media cover? What will pro-democracy leaders and orgs do? Most important: Who will stand up and who will obey?

“We guard against unnecessary care”—- the insurance companies word over the doctors. Shame.
