Part 1 of 2 for Chapter 5 of A&P 1

Not bad, not bad at all

When you unexpectedly make a full price sale on Poshmark but you have to keep calm, cool, and collected because you’re in the middle of your clinical lmao

When you sign up for a CPR class and due to COVID it’s online so you end up having to take an exam through Zoom which is fine except that they literally sent you the answer key to circle your answers…. lol

Part 1 of chapters 5 and 6 of my A & P 1 homework

Not bad, not bad at all

Hypothetical and ideal lowest grade possible for A&P 1 considering my professor told me I got “almost 90” and am “on the right track”

When Studor Group rounds and says your whiteboards are too complicated.

You know…

I feel like one thing they should teach these poor new grads coming in is how to cope with petty and duplicitous nurses…because Jesus there are a lot of them.

Happy Nurses Week to each and every one of you who sacrificed SO much this year. You are truly heroes.

Enjoy the shit out of that free pizza this week.

Turn off the news.

Stop getting caught up in the social media of people who think it’s a hoax. Don’t give in to the ignorant bullshit that people are saying. One percent of the population of the United States, alone, is 3.2 million people. That one percent is worth fighting for.

They’ve stopped calling you a hero but that doesn’t mean you aren’t one. You’re a hero every single day you’ve shown up to work in this pandemic. You’re underpaid and under appreciated and yet there you are, every day, helping your patients fight. YOU are the reason your patients get to go home.

Do something for yourself on your day off. Wholeheartedly just for yourself. Not something your kids will enjoy, not something for your partner or parents or siblings or friends. You do you. Take care of yourself.

You are so important to your patients and your coworkers. Don’t give up. These vaccines are a light at the end of the tunnel. We’re almost there.

You got this.

I was really trying to give 2020 a chance because I had some good stuff happen last week.

Then I got COVID.

2020 can go choke on one.

Hey guys, what’s the consensus?

Are we still washing our hair after every shift even if we’re taking care of the non-COVID patients?

Cause I have back to back shifts and I’m tired.

This just in: I did it. I showered and didn’t wash my hair. If I get COVID in the next 4-7 days we’ll all know why.

Happy Nurses Week, heroes.

Thank you respiratory therapists.

Thank you EVS.

Thank you nurse’s aides.

Thank you social workers and case managers.

Thank you unit secretaries.

Thank you pharmacists and pharmacy techs.

Thank you transporters.

Thank you X-ray and CT techs.

Thank you security guards.

Thank you for being there with us and for us.

Nobody signs up for emergency medicine because they have a death wish. We are here because we want to help. We don’t fear stressful situations, we thrive in them. In times like these, when there are so many unknowns, we may question why. Why are we risking our lives for this? Why are we showing up every day when everyone else is home?

We are trained for this. We remain calm when everyone else is panicking. We can help.

Be there for your friends who are scared, your family members who are uninformed. Do your own research and understand the changes happening everyday. Protect yourself at work. Wear PPE. Change your clothes at work before you go home. Turn off the news and social media for a while.

It’s okay to be scared. It’s okay if you panic bought toilet paper. You’re human. We are in this together. We’re all scared. But we’re also all superheroes.

Me and my work bestie when we haven’t seen each other in a week.
