My favorite part of this is actually the smile of her daughter looking up at her dad as he is moved by the gratitude and recognition.

When you fail at American football analogies at a meeting with your VP present and say that there’s a penalty kick to the end zone 😅😂😭

This is no #cadillac people...we’re playing patient ping pong shuffling these patients to other ICUs if the numbers keep going up. Do your part, wash your hands, social distance and get vaccinated when it’s your turn.

When dealing with #politics of how other people want to practice and how it doesn’t put the patient’s well-being first...and you’re stuck in the middle while everyone is busy being a jerk and patients don’t get care. Does anyone feel me? #frustrated #burnedout

Too bad that Mike #Pence is a decent speaker because you can really see the ineptitude of this administration clearly than #Trump’s sound byte after sound byte. Needless to say, Mike Pence won’t have a career in executive-level politics if he keeps towing this party line. 💀🤦🏻‍♀️
Now that’s a real test for health executives...I think you might have to ensure that it was workplace-acquired...
Should incidence of COVID in HCWs be a KPI for local administrators and executives? #justasking #COVID19Aus #PPE #MaskUp #SocialDistance
#NursingManagement and #HRManagement can do better...this is one of the reasons we have trouble recruiting in this profession *sigh*. Interviewees invested time and resources to help you potentially fill a role, least you can do is call back and provide feedback!

Accurate...but when dealing with a manic patient you might have to tone down the caffeine jitters a bit. 😅
Psych on-call when the Code Whites start. (Except it's 2AM, so replace the beer with a Super GigantoGulp 64oz Diet Coke)
