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!"

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

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!

#introduction Hi everyone, I joined a while ago, but didn’t give it much a go, but want to now. All other social media pisses me off. I’m active in #Druidry with #OBOD Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids I #read a pretty wide genre of #books - both #fiction and #nonfiction . I’m from #uk but now live in #tasmania #australia. I’m a retired #mentalhealth #nurse and keen at #photography - pictures to follow. @chestas (my husband) and I both love to #travel

Well, I am changing my name, so a
new #introduction seems apt...

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.
