If someone in power wanted to do something to address the healthcare crises in this country, one of the easiest things would be to enforce the laws around dispensing medical advice without a license and making false medical claims, not to mention holding politicians accountable for knowingly lying.

Cassidy VOTED FOR RFK, JR. AND HIS BRAINWORM! He doesn’t now get to complain about “tragic” takes (a/k/a lies) about vaccines. Maybe Dr. Cassidy should give his medical assessment instead on Trump’s obvious lack of mental acuity and competence, which preclude him from serving in office.

I’m interested in legal nurse consulting and curious about the best pathways, certifications, and networking to enter this specialty. For those in the field: how did you start, and what advice do you have for newcomers? Thanks for any advice!

Changes should have been made after game one. I haven't seen anything from the coaching staff *this series* to convince me they can make tough decisions, even after winning 60 games.

Just in: The NBA and NBPA have ruled in favor of Lakers' Luka Doncic and Pistons' Cade Cunningham on their Extraordinary Circumstances Challenge for the 65-game award rule, making both eligible for all 2025-26 season honors such as MVP and All-NBA teams, sources tell ESPN.

There’s a theory floating around after last night’s episode of The Pitt that Langdon took Whittaker’s badge to steal meds. Given the show's overall attention to detail, I don’t buy it because I’ve never encountered a hospital that doesn't use fingerprint scanning for medication dispensing.

In times of stress, my go-to move is to get a new plant. Costco had a two-pack deal on my dream plant — these beautiful variegated monsteras… for $29.99!! Costco always delivers in a time of need.

I wish more ER nurses would get the chance to learn from the ICU, and vice versa. This should be the standard, IMO.

As my time at Michigan Medicine (and in my home state) comes to a close, I've been reflecting a lot on my experiences here over the past 10 years. The Emergency Critical Care Center (EC3) at UM has transformed my practice and improved the way I deliver care.

The tell is that Fox intentionally failed to run the actual video in the 'correction.' It seems the network will do whatever it takes to NOT share the video of Trump in campaign merch at the ritual to honor the fallen troops. State TV in action.

As an ER charge nurse, at least 40 percent of my job is apologizing for things that are not in my control—usually it's wait times that contribute to boarding, etc.

It’s infuriating seeing fellow nurses bash anti-ICE positions from our own orgs/unions. Nursing IS political. You can’t claim to provide compassionate, equitable care for everyone while ignoring when people are being treated cruelly and unfairly. Our patients — and our profession — deserve better.

The GOP conception of public health is no public health. Florida is a testing ground for these deeply irresponsible, dangerous policies—a model red states all across the country. Ladapo is an anti-vaxxer.

I’m overwhelmed and deeply saddened by the countless tragedies on display. I watched the video and read about yet another victim — Alex Pretti, a fellow ICU nurse — who, by all reasonable accounts, did what any of us should do in the face of such cruelty. He tried to help, and was executed for it.

I’m completely fed up with elected Representatives saying shit like, “Republicans will tell you behind closed doors that they don’t agree with what ICE is doing”. Playtime is over. Professional courtesy no longer exists. Name them, record them, and make it public.
