Doing this work there are moments that just break your heart… then there are moments that break your heart open. It’s all a privilege.

📑 Great article reviewing the challenges and evidence for opioid therapy in patients with serious illness and hemodynamic instability. https://www.liebertpub.com/doi/full/10.1089/jpm.2021.0446

🤔 When considering these scenarios earlier in my career, a mentor asked: should we be using pain as a vasopressor? Before blaming the opioid, have we ruled out other causes? It’s complicated, more research is needed. Goals of care and shared decision-making with the collaboration of specialties are essential.

“But I did everything they told me to…”

Patients don’t fail treatments.

Treatments fail patients.

Diseases progress despite treatment. *refractory disease

The terminology we use can influence perceptions. Take the focus off the person in this case. It’s the diseases fault, not theirs.

Is there anything worse than knowing you have a UTI and waiting for your UA and C&S?? #NurseTadon #NurseLife #MedMastodon 😖

I worked for Genesys. We sounded the alarm on unsafe staffing back in 2009. Ascension is evil.

Struggling to come up with a small token of appreciation for my nursing staff of 17. I dread the idea of a coffee gift card, but just can't seem to think outside the box.

We work outpatient, so bedside gifts wouldn't really apply.

Any ideas?

Monday with Maggie! Got to spend some time yesterday with the Jefferson College of #Nursing pup. She offers so much love and light wherever she goes. Keep on wagging! #NurseTadon #hapc

@odmica I have another account on Med-Mastadon and have seen this hashtag #NurseTadon . Maybe that will help?

Today I juggle being a nurse &being a parent caregiver. Thankful for virtual options for my child’s care team during my lunch break. With the Ontario Dec 1 billing changes I wonder if this will be the last one? Then we will go back to driving 2 hours each way for a 1 hr meeting. #RuralHealthcare #Rural #NurseMastodon #NurseTadon #ParentCaregiver #EssentialCaregiving #ChildrensHospital
