I love this!

[jspark3000]

Things I’ve learned not to say in the hospital at the very moment of pain and tragedy:

“Everything will be okay.”

“You’re so strong!”

“Pain is what forces you to grow.”

“God has an amazing plan for your life!”

“God is using this for your good.”

“God just wanted another angel in heaven.”

“It could’ve been worse.”

“At least you’re still alive. At least—”

“Cheer up and stay positive!”

“Everything happens for a reason.”

“I understand what you’re going through.”

“Time to pray really hard and read more Bible.”

“God is using this as a wake-up call.”

“Be the change you want to see in the world.”

— and other motivational poster clichés.

Things I’ve learned to say in the hospital at the very moment of pain and tragedy (and even then, not every time):

“I’m sorry.” “How are you right now?” “I don’t think it’s wrong to be mad.” (Or scared, or hurt, or sad, or weeping, or uncertain.) “How can I pray for you?” “I’m always here.” Or the best thing: listen.

Happy National Certified Nurses Day!

Proud of all of you certified nurses out there! Reblog with your certification, STAT. The fate of the Galactic Alliance depends on it.

Sometimes choosing to eat dinner at the bar just pays off...

Customer 1: Are you from Canada?

Customer 2: Philadelphia actually.

Customer 1: I LOVE NEW JERSEY.

Bartender: (sarcastically)Ah, the sunshine state.

when someone asks me and my 2 BFF nurse buds to complete a task

Bathing patients in the intensive care unit daily with the antimicrobial agent chlorhexidine to prevent hospital-acquired infections might not be effective and could even increase the risk for resistance, according to a randomized clinical trial.

Chlorhexadine bath in ICU called into Question, from Medscape

Yet another thing added to the plate of the busy nurse that may actually cause a problem in the long-run. Did we not learn our lesson with resistant bugs?

10 hours into my 6th day in a row

[nursingistheshit]

When I have one of those family members that questions my every move, talks shit to the doctor about me when I leave the room, accuses me of starving her parent (who's NPO for failing a swallow eval), and hits the call bell q 5 minutes to "fluff Mom's pillow"
