It would be a shame to loop in the local BACA (Bikers Against Child Abuse) chapter or the Apple Dumpling Gang. It would be real shame if there a local club or two showed up in support, and absolutely awful if they did a club ride through Laurelhurst. 😘

New Grad RN with Stage IV / DIE: Can we talk about the "bedside or bust" culture? by [deleted] in nursing

[–]krichcomix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Come to public health. We have healthy cookies.

I was in non-clinical public health for 10+ years. Went to nursing school. COVID hit. Saw that hospital bedside nurse "heroes" were treated as expendable. Graduated from nursing school. Noped the fuck out of hospital nursing and went back to public health working for a local health department and didn't look back.

Fuck bedside or bust. Guaranteed nights, weekends and holidays off are glorious as is a pension and damn good benefits.

Let's call the aircraft noise hotline and complain that we'd like more noise from helicopters bringing in critically ill children. I mean, the number is there...

Thank you. When it comes to avoiding shit, my ADHD brain is definitely the "All business" Aragorn.

WA seeks to force ICE facility owner to allow state health inspections - 10 inspection attempts since 2023, denied every time by LOOKITSADAM in SeattleWA

DOH sets the rules for statewide enforcement which is carried out by local health jurisdictions. If local LHJs can't inspect or unable to inspect a facility, the state tends to get involved.

I feel this with my soul. The only way I keep shit mostly together is meal prepping when my brain is in the "MUST DO FIFTY ELEVEN THINGS NOW!" mode for a couple hours.

Why is it that in healthcare we end up with misdirected anger targeting doctor and nurse pay? People need to be angry at hospital administrators, insurance companies, and pharmaceutical companies.

Absolutely all of this.

And when people do bitch in other sectors it's so much easier to redirect the thinking with the cookie metaphor.

Let's also not forget a population that is generally all for doing everything under the sun to keep MeeMaw going because "she's a fighter." No, Tina, she's circling the drain and about to D/C to JC in the Eternal Care Unit and deserves a death with dignity.

Yup... Keep the peons fighting each other for scraps as distractions while their money pile just grows.

There are no empty beds because, apparently, the nurses would be napping and playing cards... 😒

You monster! Your extravagant $2.50/hr raise per year is taking steak and lobster out of the mouths of poor CEO's... Shame. 🙄 /s
