Welcome To The Nurse Life

I DIDN’T LEARN ABOUT THIS IN DRIVING SCHOOL

THIS IS ALWAYS FUNNY

I’ve only seen this legendary post in screenshots

ITS BACK

Where are all my over 30 Nurses at? I swear every profile are 19-22 year olds asking people to “join them as they embark on this new journey of nursing.” Is there a geriatric side of Tumblr I’m supposed to be on? 😂😂😂 #ICantRelate #9YearsExperience #LoveToAllMyFellowNurses

*raises tiny, shriveled, trembling hand and wheezes out “Here.”*

We are here!

I'm 28... that rounds up to 30, right? 5 years experience here!

It’s hard to see what we see, and then go back to ‘normal’ life, surrounded by people who will hopefully never have to witness what we’ve seen, much less play an active part. Sometimes the ordinary is so jarring and suffocating that you almost can’t stand it, at other times it’s like a warm blanket, insulating you from the hurt. I hope you can take time to process, and to make peace with what happened. And to rejoin the outside world.

I needed to read this so badly today.

Same. While everyone is at home sleeping at 0300, I am desperately fighting to keep my patient alive as she decompesates faster than we can intervene. Her daughter is crying in the waiting room, terrified to see her mom with all the tubes. We are placing an emergent vascath. Her lactate is 20. We are losing...

My face when my patient's lactate jumps from 10 to 20 in three hours.

i just found out merriam webster has a time traveler feature that tells you some of the words that were “born” the same year as you. it’s pretty neat yall should do this

i’m the same age as twerking and bromance guys

‘Internet service provider’….how fucking old am I???!!

i’m as old as the word cybersex

Laptop, FedEx, and Date-rape.

Hepatitis e and whitey-tighties

Buffalo wing and cable modem

Arena football, crackbaby, and perestroika.

Hahaha I am the same age as clopidogrel and gangsta rap.

Except you can’t bolus Propofol 🤗 specifically because it causes severe hypotension enough to stop pulses

Saw an ED nurse push propofol for an ankle reduction…. and can’t it be pushed for conscious sedation? We don’t do it on my floor

👋🏽 hi, hello, ED RN who bolus doses propofol all the time and uses it for sedation for quick reductions or cardioversions.

Yup, we do it all the time too. Can't have my ECMO patient sitting up and decannulating themselves, now can I?

Yup...

More like anesthesia 😂

At least they are stabilized? 

DEFINITELY anesthesia.

12/10 best response to this idiocy.

correlation does not equal causation dumbasses

Those are the best graphs ever.

I have seen similar posts, but this one has the best charts. 

Correlation does not mean Causation

The mountain range though!!! 😂😂😂
