My body hurts after a 16 hr shift in COVID ICU, it not as much as my soul. I have never felt so helpless, so angry, and so sad in my life. The things I saw, and had to do in just that one shift are a drop in the ocean of what a health care worker experiences. #MaskUp

Lest we forget- it is NURSES who comprised the highest percentage of healthcare worker deaths from COVID-19. This worsened an existing shortage. My state (NY) lost 452 nurses alone. Remember this when you speak of staffing shortages. It wasnโ€™t the vaccine mandate.

PSA: if your family member is in the hospital, the best time to call and get info is after 10am. 7-8 is shift change and 8-10 is assessments, meds, baths, and testing. Also- the more often you call, the more times you are pulling the nurse away from their patients. :) 1/2

ICU has tripled assignments, doubled up CRRT, CVICU lost a bunch more staff, but there was a bunch of snacks in the break room from the board of trustees. So itโ€™s all good ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป Thanks for the Doritos I ate while typing up the H&P for my admit that will be waiting for a bed x48hrs

STOP blaming nurses. Let us leave. Let us take care of OURSELVES for once. Our cups are empty and broken. We need help. Please stop acting like we are here to die for our patients! We aren't. That is not why we do this work. Trying to give a shit and help us change this system. x

Like I donโ€™t even know what to say anymore. Hospitalizations WILL go up. Cases will continue to break records. Health care workers will get sick, and the system will collapse. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ what do yโ€™all want us to do? We tried. We damn tried! Hitting barriers every damn step of the way.

Just learned that a dear friend of mine, during her C-section a few months back, asked for a tubal ligation but because she works for a catholic hospital, they denied her. Based on THEIR religious objection. She was open on the table and denied her right for a tubal ligation.

I might just end up taking a job I donโ€™t love because staying at the bedside during another surge with Delta+ and CRITICAL shortage of nurses is honestly torture. I donโ€™t want to do this anymore.

Waiting for over 36 hrs in an ED for an inpatient bed is insane, but that is the reality right now for some folks. COVID did this, and we are paying the price. Some peopleโ€™s price is higher than others. The ED is not set up to manage inpatient disease processes.

and I will add one more thing- this is not everyone's story. Many DO survive and go on to live their lives in a meaningful way. But if this is ONE person's story, it should be enough to make people listen and do the right thing, because every life matters, right?

This is your periodic reminder that Nurse Practitioners are NOT: 1. Mid level (anything) 2. โ€˜Miniโ€™ or โ€˜babyโ€™ doctors 3. Doctorsโ€™ assistants 4. Your punching bag Carry on ๐Ÿ˜˜

Ok so just spent 30 mins with a COVID denier, explaining vaccination, how exposures work and how testing works and why they are having pleuritic chest pain, and how inflammation works, and what a D-dimer is, and how you arenโ€™t going to feel better right awayโ€ฆ 1/2

Thank you everyone for the support. It is truly agonizing, watching these patients suffer. We always try our best and give them all we have but our strength, and our resources are critically strained. We need everyone to follow the guidelines and keep safe. โค๏ธ

Let me just say this- PAs and APRNs (NPs, CRNAs, CNS, CNM, etc) are not โ€œmid level providersโ€. We have earned our titles. We add value to our professions. We are a valuable part of the interdisciplinary team. If I catch you talking shit about us- I will come for you. ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿป

I think the hardest part about trying to sleep before my shift tomorrow is knowing that kind, sweet humans I got to know prior to intubation, holding them in their most vulnerable moments, will likely be gone, or close to death. Time is not kind with COVID patients. ๐Ÿ˜ข
