LOL what the gently caress

I was on my way to work and I saw this gas station nearby that had their pumps corralled off with yellow tapes. I wonder if they had to close their pumps because they didn't get their gas delivered on time

Not a good sign! Lmao

"It's not that they refuse to schedule more nurses, there are no more nurses to schedule. If 40-50 nurses have time to stand around and protest why don't those same ones each pick up and extra day of work a week, hell 2 of them split a day in half. Imagine how much more coverage there would be to spread to each department. All these people out in the public screaming there's not enough nurses, but if they start closing down units to make the ratios smaller, then they'll be screaming that they can't believe there are no more beds to admit people. Think about it from all sides people! I am a nurse, I worry about my patients, I pick up extra hours when I am able to help out. If they were so worried about their patients they would help out instead of standing around outside "protesting", which does nothing but get the news station out there."

I only order those for suspected IIH and that’s only after a positive MRI and lumbar.

NS needs them for stinting.

Went to the store yesterday (NoVA) and like folks said, stuff is starting to get picked over
almost no chicken in the case, ramen was decimated, vegetables hit and miss
toilet paper still fully stocked so we're not in the end times just yet but it's the kind of damage you only see around storm panic rushes
if this keeps up people will have no choice but to notice

There's snow in the forecast and all my co-workers went to the store to stock up only to be baffled by already bare shelves. You can see the dots starting to connect.

yeah, it's kind of weird actually, it's from a facebook post about Mission Hospital nurses protesting yesterday.
Digging into the account a little, it seems not quite right.
Most of the friends are thirsty looking dudes and the few posts are vaguely horny to attract thirst dudes...but it raises the question why does this account care about nurses protesting?

All those episodes of Nailed It! are gonna pay off in the apocalypse. I will be the town cakemen.

Arlington still seems normal-ish, not much different than the usual. Not surprising that Fairfax is getting stores looted of stock though tbh.

Just stop
we know 2 weeks means never in government time

in fact if anyone ever tells you something will take "two weeks" for anything ever, you can rest assured they're saying that because they can't/won't be doing dick the first week and they need to second week to come up with a way of explaining why they need more time/to delay again

Or you could just buy flour sugar eggs and baking powder. Hell even some powdered egg or condensed milk if you were that worried about shelf stability

Fentanyl IV bags used to be under literal lock and key on the IV pole because you can't trust those low incom- I MEAN DRUG SEEKING patients to not just steal it from another patient's IV.



I actually asked an ICU nurse last week when I had a patient with a fentanyl bag whatever happened to the ridiculous lockboxes (the first time you see one in a hospital is jarring and memorable imo) and she said we kept dropping them and breaking them because they're loving stupid/cumbersome so we don't use them anymore.

Also fun fact I've yet to see an IV pole that isn't just like any other telescoping pole where you can simply undo the retaining screw, pull the top pole out, then just walk away with your goody box.
