As a nurse, this is absolutely ridiculous. Every part of the team is needed and all team members are professionals. #nurse #departmentofeducation #dryoun youtube.com/shorts/4c2sW...
Nurses, PT’s, OT’s, and PA’s are no longer considered professionals??

I hate transitioning between phones. Nothing compares to my #Blackberry. Now I'm trading a headphone jack,SD card slot,& a Spen with features that I didn't even realize I had for a better camera. A better camera to capture once in a lifetime childhood memories w/out carrying my professional camera 😔

When you give your sick kid medicine, and their first question is "Are there dyes in this?!?!". Yes, I'm sorry that Walmart ran out of the dye free and delivered this one. Risk vs benefit for one dose when you don't feel well 🤷♀️

This is why the new grad night shift males #nurses all thought I was dramatic. I'd get this type of report and then walk in the room, and it was chaos. I'd make them fix their mess or completely dismiss them. youtube.com/shorts/faw4U...

All the parents were looking at my crazy as I was about to pull someone else's child out of the pool after they started choking in the water. Thank goodness the swim instructors know I'm a nurse,and if I'm moving, everyone better start moving. #pooltime #swimclass #watersafety

I know that people have a lot of thoughts about #COVID vaccines in kids but as someone who cared for previously healthy kids who had really bad outcomes, I will be vaccinating my kids every chance I can get.

I hate when I get in an Uber and it smells like smoke. My allergies do not mix with cigarette smoke. So glad I had a mask on #ick #allergies

This was such an interesting watch. Anytime I've tried to allow a child around me to have a slight bit of Independence, strangers stop it. Even letting them order at a counter, an adult takes over. We are so unaccustomed to allowing #children to do anything independently.

There are very few reasons for a pediatric office to be TWO hours behind schedule. Emergencies happen but two hours is crazy. They should give people the option to reschedule if they know they're 2 hours behind when you check in. #healthcare #nurselife

This new @southwest change will completely eliminate any motivation to pick them over another carrier. Especially if the price will be the same after paying for checked bags.

Melanin is the most common pigment in the animal kingdom, but plants, bacteria and fungi also contain versions of melanin – in fact, the brown color of over-ripe bananas is due to melanin produced by oxidation in the skin. Share if you learned something new!

When you realize that Hank Hammers on Rubble & Crew is voiced by one of the @hgtv #propertybrothers who wrote Builder Brothers: Big Plans children's book. It's a very meta moment for my little one who loves the book.

Every once in a while the bad behavior of other people's children tests my patience. Especially when parents let their children physically harm other children and don't say a word.
