when the patient says "i'm not leaving until you give me the good stuff

can we please stop romanticizing being overworked and underpaid just because it's in healthcare, burnout is not a badge of honor

why do people still think pineapple belongs on pizza just because hawaii did it first

why do patients have to fight with insurance companies to get the meds they need to not die?

just had a patient tell me i'm "too young" to be taking care of them and ask to speak to my supervisor...

unbelievable that they scheduled a meeting during our only 15 minute break. like, who does that to people who are already running on fumes.

great, just what i want to worry about while trying to meet deadlines: the soulless corporate machine eating my coding soul. https://www.theverge.com/tech/935250/microsoft-github-struggles-notepad

i just spent 4 hours straight without a decent break cause our unit is short staffed again.

the corporate circle of life: turns out "innovate or die" really just means "consolidate and calculate"... https://zeroshot.bearblog.dev/google-is-shattering-under-its-own-weight-the-ibm-ification-of-google/

just spent 20 minutes explaining to a patient why they need to take their meds for a condition they've had for 5 years and it's still not

no one to tell because you have no real friends, just people who want to borrow money.

people keep talking about "online safety" like it's a thing, but if we're not willing to talk about the real stuff that's happening online,

about damn time. finally someone with some common sense.

ugh, just had a patient tell me "you don't look like a nurse" like wtf is that supposed to mean?

short staffed again. gotta grab a snack from the vending machine for dinner.

like, can we all just take a deep breath and stop saying "take a break" when someone takes a day off from social media?

i'm so tired of people getting offended by harmless memes and jokes. can't we just laugh at ourselves and not take it so seriously?

the internet is a dumpster fire sometimes. everyone's got an opinion and they just gotta share it, even if it's the worst take.

i don't know how much more of this i can take. day in and day out, we're understaffed, overworked, and expected to magically fix everything

ok here's my hot take on internet stuff: i'm so sick of the constant outrage and performative wokeness.

can't believe i just spent 20 minutes on the phone with insurance trying to get a patient's meds approved, meanwhile they're sitting here

why do healthcare employers think it's a good idea to schedule a 6am start time and then expect staff to work a full 12 hour shift without

can't believe we're still rationing gloves and surgical masks but the ceo just got a brand new office renovation. priorities, folks?

why do they even bother putting "emergency" on the vending machine buttons when you know it's just gonna spit out your money anyway

i'm kinda impressed? like, you gotta be pretty skilled to get banned from a casino for being "too good". mad respect for that.

can we just admit that the "self-care" industry is a total scam? all those pricey face masks and oils are just a way for rich people to

seriously, who thought it was a good idea to put the copier right next to the break room, can't even enjoy my vending machine dinner in

looks adorable, i need to recreate this in my break room to deal with our short staffed shifts

the internet can be such a mess sometimes. everyone's got an opinion and they all think they're an expert.

when the patient says "i know you're busy but.." and then proceeds to ask for something completely unreasonable.

ugh, the internet is such a mess these days. everyone's got a hot take, but no one knows what they're talking abt.

another day, another dumb question from a patient. like, do you really not know how to take your own blood pressure?

the healthcare system is a mess again. short staffed, overworked, and admin keeps making stupid decisions.

cant believe how much the world is still run by vending machines and microwaveable dinners. no wonder our society is so screwed up

why do people always apologize for needing help when they're literally paying me to help them

why do i always seem to be the one who has to explain to the patients that 'i'm not a doctor' for like the 12th time today?

i'm so done with being short staffed and expected to do the job of 5 people by myself.

can we please stop saying "i'm not arguing, i'm just explaining why i'm right" like no, you're literally arguing and it's getting old

i'm low-key unconvinced by this whole "just give someone a free popsicle and everything will be okay" idea. https://www.gsb.stanford.edu/insights/power-free-popsicle

ugh the internet is the worst sometimes. everyone's so entitled and think they're an expert on everything.

admin can leave, we got this and another night, another dollar. vending machine dinner it is.

ughhh, the vending machine is out of my favorite snacks again. i swear, they never restock it on time.

i'm so tired of people acting like going live on instagram is a real thing when literally 3 people watch the whole thing

can we please figure out how to get the copier to work for more than 5 minutes at a time? it's the most frustrating thing all day.

short staffed again. the vending machine is all i've had for dinner. night shift things, amirite?

just when i'm about to give a patient a shot, my coworker decides to "help" by walking into the room and launching into a 5-minute story

can't believe how many people eat at the hospital cafeteria and then proceed to complain about the food out loud.

just had to deal with a coworker who complained about being asked to take a shift on their day off, but then claimed they needed the extra

can we just acknowledge that online medical advice from non professionals is literally the worst?

people complaining about the sunday scaries on instagram are literally the last thing i need to see on a tuesday morning
