Mother, wife, daughter, friend, nurse practitioner, student (for life). The sweetest cherry in an apple pie. Please send poetry. Advocate for gun reform NOW.
For Marco Rubio, From a Mother
Tonight I laid next to you in your pink bed
And stroked your wet hair as you fell asleep.
“Mama, do you love me?” You murmured, eyes closed thumb in your mouth.
“Yes, of course. Always. My love will always be with you, Bubba.”
I cannot get over the nurse who called the cops when a miscarrying woman in Warren, OH came to the hospital seeking help for her bleeding.
Nurses: We are never the cops. Our responsibility is to the patient in front of us and no one else. Your religious beliefs do not apply.
The anti-vax RNs (who I won’t RT) who are getting 🔥 and making these “farewell freedom fighters” videos — You cannot safely perform your job as an RN if you remain unvaccinated. The vax adds a layer of protection for your patients. You had a choice. You made a choice. The end.

Nurse here. Hi. We can get a day off here and there. It’s been nearly two years. Stop this nonsense. Someone who is running for Congress should be able to recognize this rather than trying to get some extra likes on Twitter at the expense of nurses. Happy holidays! ✨🌈✨
According to investigators, the Uvalde shooter likely never shot a gun until the day he used an AR-15 to kill 21 people (19 children!!) in 2.5 minutes.
That’s it. That’s the tweet.
I feel the need to clear something up: If you disagree w/ someone on Twitter and show up at their home or work or send them harassing text messages, that is called stalking. You can and should go to jail for this.
Please don’t bring your gun to your doctors office for your check up. No one wants it there. You’re making almost everyone in the clinic uncomfortable. You don’t need it. And if you’re doing it to make a statement, you’re a person who shouldn’t have a gun.
You have to be an absolute ghoul to be advocating against the vitamin K shot in newborns. The choice is between a well-tolerated, safe shot or a brain/intestine/organ bleed that will either leave your child forever neurologically impaired or dead. It shouldn’t be hard.
@NRA
Good. Do you know how confusing it is to the rest of us when we see someone carrying a rifle in public?? Should I run? Do I call the police? Or is this some dufus who thinks he needs to carry his manhood sign on his back? 🙄
If I mute the word bra, will I stop getting bra ads??? I’m not just getting the grandma one, my whole feed is suddenly nothing but bras.
WTF is happening.
A 7 yo child in my best friend’s neighborhood just died of MIS-C.
As of Jan 3 (most recent data) there have been 6,431 cases in kids and 55 deaths. With cases exploding, this number is bound to rise too.
It does impact the kids. Let’s be reasonable about protecting them.
Who do I need to follow on
#NurseTwitter
? I am a nurse (and nurse practitioner) and I don’t see enough nurses on here. I would like to see more of you all! Please and thanks.
@MattWalshBlog
Remember when 20 first graders were murdered in less than 4 mins? Or how about 19 fourth graders.
Remember when 400 ppl were shot at a country concert?
What is so hard about this for you??
For the love of all that is good in this world, PLEASE give your newborn the vitamin K shot offered at the hospital. Newborn brain bleed from vitamin K deficiency is horrible and so preventable. 😰
"Vitamin"K shot
Let’s start with the vitamin K used in the shot itself. Is it a natural form of vitamin K such as would be found in leafy greens (K1) or butter (K2)? No, it is a synthetic vitamin K, generic name phytonadione. Synthetic vitamins should be avoided as they can
If you logged in to the hellsite this AM and saw a HS was trending and immediately knew why, please know that your elected officials would rather have our teachers train our kids how to hide from a shooter and dodge bullets than take meaningful action for our gun problem 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
When I am worried about my child or I have basic questions about their development, my *first* call is always to consult with an oncologist who specializes in cancer in adults rather than a pediatrician who specializes in…all things children.

Thank you for your opinion. I would like to remind you that this is a Christmas show and you know absolutely nothing about any of the ppl who participated, what their role is as nurse and what their schedule is like. ❤️
To be honest, pre-Covid when I started seeing a lot of organ transplant recipients I wondered why we weren’t already doing this. If not all the time, at least during flu season.
@gbosslet
Remember when a certain group of ppl were really worried about “death panels” when the ACA was up for a vote?
Hate to break it to them, but we already sort of had them at that point 🙄
@thepedipals
I spend a substantial amount of time on MyChart messages. It should be a visit, but I am also booked four mos out in advance and so I end up doing these on my day off. I wish people understood how much work it is. (We also introduced this in our dept last week - I’m nervous😬).
In Kindergarten one of the most common favorite colors is rainbow. You might know that if you were, say a Kindergarten teacher. But you’re not. You’re a hateful, stupid-sunglasses-wearing man with podcast.
My almost three year old at the ophthalmologist office, once her eyes were dilated <inspecting her hand>
SOMEBODY MESSED UP ME!!!
SOMEBODY MESSED UP ME!!!
If you can read or hear something about 19 AMERICAN children being murdered in their elementary school classroom with an AR-15, and your only response is “Second Amendment” or “My rights” I have nothing else to offer you. Please expend your energy elsewhere. I don’t care.

I don’t think pointing out that it’s ok to have a day off is “self important” nor do I think it’s bad form to say a politician shouldn’t be disparaging nurses who sang at the White House to get Twitter likes. I honestly don’t know what else to tell you. 🤷🏻♀️
I bought my kids kinder eggs at Target today. I was reminded that while I can’t buy my kids the kinder eggs sold in Europe due to possible choking hazard, I *can* soon buy them a junior AR-15 and honestly WTAF is that.
This is such a ridiculous exchange that I am cry-laughing in my car right now while waiting for my pick up order. It would be funnier if it weren’t going to maybe dupe someone, especially a high-risk person, into not getting vaccinated.
@WFKARS
@ShawnMcBreairty
And we wonder why teachers are leaving the profession. This woman makes a welcoming classroom for her students and this man gives her full name on social media w/o her permission. You know what? Ask any kindergartner what their favorite color is - half of them will say “rainbow”.
@TraumaSoapBoxes
Oh wow. Do we have similar birth stories? 😫😭 I remember watching a med student turn white as a sheet while I was hemorrhaging and thinking “Oh no. He needs help” 😂This was just before I started having massive chest pressure and everything started going dark.

@JustinTrudeau
Hi Lauren. Remember when hundreds (literally hundreds!) of people were shot at a country concert in Las Vegas in like 10 mins? Or when 20 first graders or 19 fourth graders were murdered in their classroom? Know where that doesn’t happen?? CANADA.
And why is that? 🤔
I am going round and round about this
Why are we doing gastric emptying studies on people who are currently taking ozempic and then *diagnosing* them with gastroparesis?
Is this not bad practice?
Good friend is late 30's. In shape, makes over $300k/year, has a condo overlooking a great downtown.
He gets consistently ghosted, ignored for days, or is told after a date or two that "this isn't working."
Modern women are broken.
This really took off. Brittany Watts has a GoFundMe for her legal defense, home repairs, medical bills and therapy she will need after this traumatizing event
This picture is so creepy. Some of the kids have six fingers, everyone’s hands are melting, everyone’s faces (including the kids’!) focused and glowing over the “holy book.” And is that cell phone on the table in 1945?
Would make an excellent opening to a horror film
Twitter is the only place where someone can post a pic of their baked goods and be excited about a new butter…and then have that discussion devolve into an accusation that their joy and enthusiasm for baking w/ a new butter is actually destroying the world.
@MomPedBlog
I think people resort to “it’s mass psychosis” or “you have a mental health problem” when they don’t want to engage in any thoughts or ideas you’re presenting them with that make them feel uncomfortable.
It is not unreasonable to mask in the classroom or out in public.
The risk of injury or death from Covid is significantly higher than any risk posed by the Covid vaccine.
Talk to your friends, family, neighbors. You may be the one person they listen to - someone who cares.
@dharrissherling
That’s a lot different than arming yourself to go to a violent rally and then shooting and killing 2 people and injuring another. At minimum it calls into question your empathy, compassion and decision-making. Stealing a car at age 15 is a very different thing.
@RemnantMd
I’d like to remind everyone that before insulin was available people just died of diabetes, including young children. Anyone who tells you insulin is a bandaid is dangerously misrepresenting medical information and I wouldn’t trust anything else they have to say about “health.”
@EruditeElf
It would be negligent to not screen for it in a healthcare setting. The child’s response might not even be about the person who brought them in for care - could be a situation the mom doesn’t know about. She should be thankful someone is checking in.
Ten years ago 20 families unknowingly put their first grade children to bed for the last time. Just six- and seven years old. Since then our lawmakers have continued put the interests of guns ahead of the interests of children.
@MediClit
Listen. I’ve taken care of people who have “simply witnessed a shooting” and those who have been shot or lost a loved one to gun violence, and I assure you it is incredibly traumatic for all of them. It traumatizes entire communities. How lucky that you’ve been shielded from this
You should be able to go to school and not get shot. You should be able to go to school and not get shot. You should be able to go to school and not get shot. You should be able to go to school and not get shot. You should be able to go to school and not get shot. You should be a
I really don’t want to use this app anymore (numerous reasons), but too many of you good people still post mostly on here. You’re all making it very hard to move over to the other place full time. I want to support you in all the things!
Also, who needs a code to B1u3 5ky?
@MileHighBecky
I get the ethics question, but you just can’t take on that risk to the other kids in that ICU. There are many other rules we expect hospital visitors to comply with. Just b/c this virus and vax have been politicized doesn’t mean parents have special rights - esp during a pandemic
Abortion is life-saving.
Abortion is fertility-preserving.
Abortion is having control over the stress you choose to put on your body.
Abortion is having control over your life.
Abortion is healthcare.
I cannot imagine learning nursing on the fly and somehow thinking that would be ok.
Also, did these fake nursing degree people pass NCLEX?? Is this the final proof we need to give that stupid exam a complete overhaul?? 😵💫
Sandy Hook is trending because Alex Jones is apparently being reinstated to Twitter so that he can spread blatant lies and attempt to monetize his account.
This is all after he ruined what little normalcy families tried to claim after their first graders were murdered at school
@Saikmedi
Going after pediatricians? The people who care for our kids when they’re sick? The people I call when I’m worried? And who definitely don’t get paid enough for the job they do? Good look, my man. 🫠
@RyanMarino
@DrPayItBack
I was on a Spirit Airlines flight a few years ago that got into some turbulence and someone a few rows behind me started vomiting. The person beside him kept shouting: “You gotta keep it in the bag!!!!” 😂☠️
Who needs pediatricians and their expertise anyway? They just dedicate their entire lives to caring for our tiniest people who can’t yet advocate for themselves yet 🥺
@DuchessSexpert
I mean, honestly what do they think we are doing in there? Having a party? If I’m running behind it’s because my patient(s) needed that time. I’d like to leave on time too, but if someone needs the extra attn, I provide it.
Voted YES on Ohio’s Issue 1.
Kinda emotional about it too. Will be waiting anxiously at home tonight and refreshing all the news sites every five minutes.
I’m sorry that so many of us are feeling this way. The past several weeks have been horrifying. Please take care of yourself and, if you find you’re ready, go to the rallies & state legislative hearings. Give testimony. Most importantly, find your people to do these things with!
@MortytheRN
Hey doctor 👋 You don’t want to discourage questions from your nursing staff because one day one of those questions is going to save your patient (and also save your ass).
