  1. How about appriately staffing units instead of trying to cut costs😢Nursing is hard but can be rewarding by seeing patients improve and can be safely discharged to home or ARUs/SNFs. Often times we dont have breaks since they are pulled to the floor to take assignments. In essence, patient safety is an issue when theres lack of staff.

  2. Retired RN with PTSD from being beaten and strangled by a patient. Nursing awareness week was always important to me.

  3. Your thoughtfulness and thoroughness contributed to speeding up my healing process. I wonder what could have become of me if you weren’t the one who handled my case. Thank you for curing my HSV2, Dr Ofenmu YouTube

  4. Another Biden disaster!!!

  5. After The Pandemic + Mental Health + Criminal Activity

  6. I live on the other side of the border, in Canada, my RN wife retired 6 yrs early, wearing that Covid masks 8 to 12 hrs daily is hard, not to mention the stress of wondering if you gave that medication correctly.

  7. The duality of the health profession while others are on the other side of that duality will likely crash healthcare…

  8. Prayers for the nurses that i heard on doctor radio who were burned out and wanting to quit including the one whose mother called in an said medicine was ruining her life. Cried that day to hear it.

  9. Torture -is different from a hard day at work, right gang.

  10. – Torture is different from a hard day at work, right gang. Dont let any lawyers or anyone in authority that would crash healthcare for all in society ever, ever try to minimize and not address anything described in the physicians for human rights article describing syria or anywhere in the world The brave nurse ran out to help the dissidents outside the hospital taken over by a totalitarian gov. What a loss. What a powerful story. That could be here on any day and one day it might be seen. Please thank the wonderful authentic nurses all.

  11. Mentally ill people are boring.
    Everyone is mentally ill.
    Maybe not a serial killer but mentally ill.
    It's the people who become themselves. That's the bravest and you don't have to leave the town you were born in.

  12. I'll grow old, get sick, and die. If healthcare is too expensive, then I wont make it to the golden diaper years

  13. There are many now, that have been subjects of desensitization since it’s 20’s. Maybe should you medical boom. Start by 90/90 your spending of military.

  14. Health care costs so much, screw them man! 😂

  15. Our health period. I have cancer and need dentures. Have two jobs, and can’t make a living. We deserve guaranteed health and dental care period. I may have to get cobra this summer again. Last time I needed heart surgery. That was in 2009 when my job fresh out of school went bye bye.
