#Taurus are not disagreeable, defensive, or argumentative. They’re just stubborn and chill.

The most #distressing thing to me as a #nurse is when a patient asks for their #family to be with them for support after receiving a critical diagnosis. I call them to communicate this request. But, no one shows up… for days 😔. #criticalcare #ICU

During the hight of Covid, I called an elderly pts daughter so they could share some last words before she got intubated. I did most of the talking because the pt was so short of breath. Her daughter responded with, ok mom I’ll call to check on you.

She never said I love you or anything. I thought for sure that was going to be the last time they ever spoke. It broke my heart and that conversation will forever stay with me.

Today, @iamwesmoore signed bill HB0278, Maryland CNS Prescriptive Authority, into law. Clinical Nurse Specialists from @HopkinsMedicine were instrumental in getting the bill and passed. Congrats on your hard work paying off! #GoHopNurse #NursesInPolicy bit.ly/3NBGoBS

I want to be clear: Abortion remains legal in Maryland as does abortion medication. The right to choose is exactly that — a right. And in our Maryland, we will always defend that right.

I taught my #practicum student today that when you get in report your patients family is difficult, it’s important to make the best first impression. It’s the little things that count and make them trust you! Trust = great day! #italianmusic #italianintroduction #ICU #nursehack

Currently waiting for maintenance to fix the safe, they said they would be here shortly. It’s been 25 mins so far… how long do you think it’ll take?

I don’t think anyone other then HCWs realize the effects of vaccine distrust and misinformation! Yesterday one of our patients kept yelling, “did you take those microchips out of me!?” While also accusing us of placing more… this was so heartbreaking. #vaccines #Nursing

At bedtime tonight, after I’ve left my daughters room she yells…. “Hey mommy, we need to get more of those mentos candies”. My husband looks at me and says, “she’s your twin!” Me: 🤦🏼‍♀️ #ToddlerLife #Mentos #Candy
