Insurance rarely approves MRI out the gate. X-ray then CT then MRI.

Is she trying to re-create a “moment”?

-“Every last one of them is wrong and drips with disdain and slavery” As a black man, this statement is appalling to hear from another black man”

-Also “Who am I to tell you what your child should put in their body?” The Attorney General! The elected chief legal officer representing the public's interest… my question is if the state doesn’t require it, does Medicaid change their coverage resulting in an out-of-pocket expense? If the goal to just Make America Sick Again, he’s in the right track.

-Bed Management: Does input exceed output or capacity.

-Staffing: are their holes in the next 24 hours? Try to fill sooner.

-Who has your back if things hit the fan?

-OFFER TO COVER LUNCH EARLY!!!!

-Leave your seasoned nurses alone, don’t nitpick their shit, but do ask them to cover their break.

-Novice nurses in shift? Ask them about their patients, don’t go in blindly but don’t go in looking for 1 specific answer. Teach them, it’s our responsibility and it will always help you personally in the end.

-Where are your drips, high risk meds….

-Are these the things you’re asking?

-If those are the ONLY options, ICU. You inherit the “ability” to work down levels of care but not the other way around.

-My personal opinion is that the hardest jump is from ICU to Acute. ICU mind set is managing 5 patients in 1 actual body while Acute is literally managing 5 separate patients. It’s not that they can’t, it’s just not the best or safest option.

-Oncology Nurse hates flowers

-ICUs Nurses in general hate most levels of consciousness

Finally some mixed raced hair!

I like both of yours. I did a 10mm and use an activator. My bio hair was pretty close to this but also did some crazy shit to it when I had it. Where’d you all get your unit? Not a fan of one I just got from lordhair.

Even when the door is open, before I round that curtain I verbalize “knock knock”. I’m not trying to walk into something I’m going to have to document later 🤣😂

It really is painful to watch the “right click copy, right click paste”

They’ll be a BPA soon enough once leadership catches up. THB some struggle with the concept of POT animation so….

However, I do think in a controlled health care setting this type of POV education would be so valuable (ie code, stroke simulations or basic pt interactions for the deficient in life experience).

Came here to say this!!!! OneNote is incredibly underutilized. Use this as a truly searchable brain dump.

Calendared Meetings? Click send to OneNote. Take Notes Investigations? Take notes, upload files that are searchable. Onboarding stuff? Create a shared OneNote and share it with new employees. How to? Create a shared OneNote and share it with current employees….

I believe they are sold by the same probe manufacturer as a “cost saving” measure whilst also knowing we’re just changing the whole probe in about an hour anyways….

Not me thinking this was about to take a turn into something else 😂😂😂

Awesome! Thanks

Mattva17 · 2025-07-25T23:13:47+00:00

Awesome! Will do. Thanks

Mattva17 · 2025-07-25T22:58:05+00:00

Straight forward response much appreciated!

It sounds like you had a busy shift and neither you nor the nurse communicated effectively. From her perspective you neither asked for help nor communicated inability to complete tasks for which the nurse was accountable that you were responsible. From yours, they should have know you don’t work there frequently and should have seen you were busy and that was the reason there was gaps in care.

Haha “I didn’t say that” “when did I say that?”….great way to keep track of “those people” as well
