For Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the trans people whose lives were stolen by violence and hate.
May their names echo louder than the voices that tried to silence them.
We honour them by fighting for a world where trans people can live freely and safely.

Me: telling my primary I need help with weight loss for 2-3 years.
My PCP: you should stop drinking your 180 calorie energy drink, cut out all potatoes, and do a very low carb diet. You say you don’t feel bad and you aren’t morbidly obese. You just need to burn more calories.
Me: <blink, blink>

Happy 3rd Gotcha Day and 6th (completely made up because we don’t know when it actually is) birthday to this little man. I love you so much, Eli Vanto! 🥰
He and his big sister had special doggie breakfast this morning and will get a burger for dinner tonight!

Email went out to ED leadership 2 weeks ago about a problem with pediatric weights and our weigh stretchers.
Guess who found out about that problem today, because ED leadership didn’t pass anything on?
Seriously. Anyone in SE Michigan need a nurse educator? Specialty is ED, but can teach anything!

“I was looking for you yesterday.”
“I was off yesterday.”
“I thought you were here doing education?”
“I was.”
“I looked for you at 6am.”
“I was in my office from about 5am ‘til almost 730am.”
“Oh, I didn’t look in your office.”
Seriously? 😒

Maybe I should just go back to bedside.
Caring about bigger things seems to get me shit on more than just coming in, knocking out a 12-hour shift where people yell at you for things you have no control over, and then going home.
Maybe I’ll give ICU a shot. Hmm.

I am attributing the changes in the 2025 AHA guidelines to @lglaucomflecken.bsky.social. They now include Recovery and Survivorship in the Chain of Survival, as well as emphasizing the need for psychosocial interventions for both pts and their families. 💚

It’s always nice when you walk into the office to pick some stuff up off the printer for the education you’re doing after hours and inadvertently hear 2 members of the leadership team talking shit about you. 🙃

Crap. 💩
I was hoping for more time to help Jonathan raise closer to enough for a flight to Cleveland. Hopper is predicting the cost to go up soon, probably due to cancellation of flights. If you can spare even a bit, it all counts. If you have airmiles to spare that helps too. I’ve booked his hotel

If you are a graduate nurse and you have questions about pathophysiology or pharmacokinetics or anything like that, please don’t use ChatGPT.
Your facility will have access to something like Lippincott or Elsevier that will have properly sourced reference material. Use those things!

When they’re doing testing on our fire suppression systems, they announce that in the case of an “actual fire” to call security.
Bruh. I’m calling 9-1-1. I love our security guys, but firefighters they are not.
I hear it 2-3 times a week, and it always makes me chuckle. 🤭

It’s also “totally reasonable and acceptable” for people to not want to be governed by racist, fascist, ignorant, uncaring ghouls. 🤷🏼♀️

It’s kinda funny. People like to use that Maya Angelou quote, but they consistently make you feel like shit.
If one of the billionaires could just give me a measly million, I’d go hide in the woods somewhere with my roommate and our dogs.
Le sigh.

One of my very favorite things about my job is how much I am appreciated.
For instance, the gifts they got for everyone for Emergency Nurses Week came late, and they just got them all put together, and I was told I don’t get one.
Love this for me. 🙃
