#1 First of all, self-care is everything — and nurses deserve the most.🙌

#2 Just another example of how saving lives can be a thankless job…

My patient woke from a renal/diabetic/extreme acidosis/septic coma, and asked to speak to Jesus, so he could complain to him about us saving his life #nurselife #onlyintheICU

#3 but there are SO many more PTs out there that appreciate everything nurses do ❤

“…not my will, but yours, be done.” Luke 22:42

The best part of being a nurse is getting to serve those who can only dream of having the healthcare we have in America. #thisishaiti #medicalmissions #nurselife pic.twitter.com/w5oDuLn6Xd

#4 We’re pretty sure she’s exaggerating. But only pretty sure.

#5 No lie, nurses have to stay on their toes and ready for whatever comes through the door

One minute your chilling, the next you’re pushing amiodarone on one patient and setting up external pacer on another, while keeping one from falling and pulling out IVs and Foley… #NurseLife

#7 No matter how tired nurses are, PTs will always come first

Going on my 3rd 12 hour shift in a row. Dry shampoo sources are depleted. Energy level @ an all-time low. I’ve eaten cold leftover pizza for my last 4 meals. But I’m still gonna smile and put on my sweet nurse voice when my patient calls to have me look at their shit. #nurselife

#10 Shoutout to all the friends and family that get being a nurse comes first

What dating a nurse/CNA looks like…
He came to have lunch with me at work & heard my rapid response code call overhead. Everything is fine, but lunch happened 30 min later. Lolol #NurseLife pic.twitter.com/yasVfFbNj3
