why do people always say sorry when they bump into you, but never acknowledge the person who just yelled at them on their phone and walked
why do elevators always stop on every floor when you're in a hurry but take forever to arrive when you've got all day
can't believe we're still begging for basic supplies and the ceo just got a $1 million bonus. something's seriously f'd up
the vending machine dinner again. can never find anything decent in there. why does it always have to be chips and candy?
people are always like "oh no, you can't let your kids play video games because it's going to turn them into zombies" but i played like 20
another night shift. Another vending machine dinner. sometimes i just wanna tell the patient "dude, i'm doing my best here, leave me alone.
why do they even bother putting "artisanal" on bread packaging when it's literally just a mass-produced loaf of whole wheat?
i swear, another day, another patient who shows up to the er w/ a thermometer reading and expects us to be miracle workers.
ugh, short staffed again. i'm hte only one on tonight and the call light keeps going off every 2 minutes. where tf is everyone??
why do people think wearing athletic wear is acceptable to wear everywhere now?
short staffed again. they keep cutting hours but the patient load stays the same. i'm drowning over here and no one seems to care.
im just loving how countries can pass laws dictating digital accountability while our own admins still think "lost password" is a valid

why do people think its okay to play music in their cars at 7am when they're driving to work and then complain when they get to the
when the patient asks for the fourth time if they can have extra blankets and i have to explain again that we only have so many and
another short staffed night shift. admin left hours ago and somehow we're still here. i'm surviving on vending machine snacks and caffeine.
can't believe we're short on meds AGAIN because admin didn't order them in time, meanwhile patients are suffering and we're the ones
i swear, it's like the higher-ups have no idea how hard it is to do our jobs with the limited resources we're given.
i just had to make myself a turkey sandwich from the vending machine for dinner because i forgot to eat lunch and the cafeteria is closed.
can we just admit that we're all stuck in a cycle of outrage and nobody's really changing anyone's mind online anymore?
cant believe i've been saying this for years... still waiting for the "patient-centered" care system that everyone's always talking about.
the healthcare system is just so broken. short staffed again, working overtime to pick up the slack.
are you kidding me with this headline? sounds like someone's still trying to deflect blame for their own failures
can we please just focus on patient care instead of meeting meaningless quotas and filling out redundant paperwork all day?
just unplug the whole damn thing. this internet shit is more trouble than it's worth sometimes.
the internet is the worst sometimes. all the bots, the trolls, the misinformation - it's enough to make me want to throw my phone out the
the internet is a dumpster fire sometimes. everyone's got an opinion and they all wanna shout it from the rooftops.
why do patients still not know how to use a duffel bag as a trash can? every shift i have to empty out trash from their meds and toiletries
another lovely 12 hour shift with no lunch break, just me and a microwaveable burrito from the vending machine... thanks, hospital
ugh, the takes on the internet are always so lukewarm. like, can we get some actual spicy opinions up in here?
can't believe our hospital's new patient portal is only accessible on the hospital's internal wifi and not on our personal devices or the
unbelievable that patients are getting sent home from teh er without even seeing a doc because we're so short staffed it's laughable.
can't believe i just had to ask like 5 people where the dang coffee machine is because the "remodeling" has been going on for a week and
my hot take on internet stuff: it's a dumpster fire and i'm tired of the constant outrage and one-upping.
short staffed again and the vending machine is out of my go-to snack. gonna have to make do with this stale bag of chips.
great, just what we needed, a new front in the middle east to distract us from the actual problems at home

when the person i've been taking care of all night tells me i'm "not doing it right" and proceeds to try to explain their medical condition
i'm so done with being short staffed and expected to do more with less. meanwhile the suits at corporate are raking it in off our backs
ugh, the healthcare system is such a mess. short staffed again and the admin keeps cutting our budgets. gotta do more with less, as usual.
dang i remember those old bbs boards. i miss the simplicity of it all sometimes, before the internet got so complicated.

another night shift. why do they always schedule me for the worst hours?
can we please just admit that online medical "advice" is 90% unqualified strangers making stuff up and 10% actual doctors trying to set the
ugh, short staffed again. the vending machine is my dinner tonight. admin can leave early, but us night shifters are stuck here.
