A nurse is recovering from her injuries after being attacked at Vancouver General Hospital on March 13, in what the nurses' union calls the latest example of violence against nurses in the workplace.

The ever-so-young #nurse sticking #needles in me for #blood yesterday was a baby #goth. Dyed black hair, #black #scrubs, big black #glasses, lots of empty #piercings holes in her face. Cute, and kind, and distressed about me being a hard stick.
"I don't want to hurt you!" she wailed as she poked around for my vein the third time.
"It's all right. You know, some people do this for fun," I said soothingly.
Her, instantly, making it clear that she did indeed know: "Yes, but I'm not one of them!"
Can I just say on behalf of everyone who works in healthcare: Sure would be nice to have tape that doesn't stick to gloves or vice versa.
I have had #insomnia for #months . I am now diagnosed #ptsd . I worked in the #emergencyroom as a #nurse . My careeer has lasted 20 years. The last 13 have been in the level one trauma center for the province of #newbrunswick #Canada in the front lines over such pandemics as #covid and many many other human tragedies. I am tired now . If anyone did the same thing and needs a sounding board for their #recovery . Don’t ever hesitate to reach out to a friend. Or myself. #hope
So as an ED/Trauma #nurse I'm thinking about all the free resources that we rely on to do our jobs and that may disappear or sunset into obsolescence with the attacks on federal agencies and employees.
I triaged and deconned a chemical burn patient a couple days ago using the ERG app on my phone. When the Burn ICU provider came down to the ED they thanked me for effectively stopping the burn. Thank you to the #federal #DOT employees who developed the #ERG and app!

2 #NHS staff were investigated & barred from work for expressing interest in organising a #peaceful #protest in support of #Palestine
A #therapist & #nurse were accused of posing a #threat to personal safety of staff at #Kensington & #Chelsea child & adolescent mental health service, & bringing the trust into disrepute
The pair were told they couldn't enter their workplace until redeployed to new NHS location
“The district nurse who lives across the street from me makes home visits to the elderly in my neighborhood. That woman literally makes it possible for hundreds of people to live better, independent lives.”
What a wonderful woman and shout out to @Remittancegirl for shouting her out too!

Starting the process of moving away from #meta owned platforms is going to be hard, and IDK how to get other folks on here, but I love this space more than Bluesky or anything else really.
I like using #Signal for comms and stories, so I guess that part is figured out.
