I have two daughters that are nurses. Unbelievable…..

spicylady1.bsky.social•109 days ago

I’m a nurse.

Fuck all of this.

icunursemercado.bsky.social•109 days ago

Already beginning Nov 1 Gov Abbott makes hospital admissions ask if the patient “what is your citizenship status”. I read everyone should answer “I don’t want to answer that question” even if you are a citizen. The intimidation is beginning! 💔

nursedeb007.bsky.social•109 days ago

Nurse here… yikes!

jasper6.bsky.social•109 days ago

Same

thetimeline.bsky.social•108 days ago

YES. 😢
...and journalists.

heatherg126.bsky.social•109 days ago

I’m in healthcare. It’s not going to be good

starrenee.bsky.social•108 days ago

My MAGA mother is an ED RN for 40 years - she still doesn’t see how covid was a problem or how any of this is an issue. She’s pro vaccine - but anti covid vax. She’s something.

dnp-in-the-ed.bsky.social•109 days ago

Thank you 😔

anet2111.bsky.social•109 days ago

Thank you. We had four years of normalcy after the pandemic. Wish it could’ve lasted longer 😢

dramaticskye411.bsky.social•109 days ago

Me too. 💔😢

marycat1021.bsky.social•109 days ago

The worst is they will come in with their unvaccinated kids, ask us to help them, and we can provide comfort care and pray… we created these vaccines for a reason, because there is NO TREATMENT.

sharonlandry.bsky.social•108 days ago

Wasn't bad enough they had to go through COVID with him, now this nightmare.

balthir.bsky.social•109 days ago

And for everyone else, the entire country is going to be royally screwed.

ksp-pt.bsky.social•109 days ago

I'm a peds PT in a NYC public school, I work for the DOE and I'm in the UFT. I most likely take care of children of the undocumented... I get sick all the time from whatever is spreading around, so this is a nightmare!!! and I'm a lone democrat in a red borough!

lschwa.bsky.social•109 days ago

Really rough. 😞

capricornmoon.bsky.social•109 days ago

I'm a public health scientist and we are worried.

yayger.bsky.social•109 days ago

And ultimately for anyone who cares about their health and that of their family’s

blkbutterflyesp.bsky.social•108 days ago

For everyone

therapyhaus.bsky.social•109 days ago

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiittttzzzzzzz. We haven’t recovered from the first round of Mushroom’s bumbling of SARS . It hasn’t STOPPED being rough

hicarolbutler.bsky.social•109 days ago

I’m so sorry.

stillwithubts7.bsky.social•109 days ago

26 years as a Nurse and I've never been so worried

livinginarcata.bsky.social•108 days ago

States like CA can protect their healthcare workers and patients. They wanted to "pass it on to the States" well let's get it on! This is a republic of states. States rule and they promote that. So now it's our turn. California AG has been preparing since May just in case Trump was elected.

lastresponder06.bsky.social•109 days ago

the fight against disinformation in healthcare is gonna be 2020 scale again. unbelievable

beejay99.bsky.social•109 days ago

😭

barbala.bsky.social•108 days ago

again 😔

swfreedle.bsky.social•109 days ago

In more than one way.

wickedpissahme.bsky.social•107 days ago

My PCP is the infectious disease specialist (along with her husband) at our local hospital. I'd love to have take on this dangerous time.

resistdaily.bsky.social•109 days ago

Nurse here😡

trevor1566.bsky.social•109 days ago

Yes doing actual work instead of the all important Covid dance .

foxford.bsky.social•109 days ago

Why does Trump’s administration hate actual experts and professionals?

der-meister.bsky.social•109 days ago

Nobody competent wants to work for him

hicarolbutler.bsky.social•109 days ago

Because in his mind he’s smarter than everybody.

foxford.bsky.social•109 days ago

We almost didn’t survive his first administration.
With legitimate & seasoned experts in place.
I’m not sure we’ll survive his second🫣

hicarolbutler.bsky.social•109 days ago

I’m definitely worried. My hope comes from three places. 1. Most of the new administration will be incompetent. 2. It takes a long time to change a country this size. 3. I’m still seeing the intelligence community going after money laundering and cyber criminals and intelligence stealers.

foxford.bsky.social•109 days ago

I’m praying by midterms…
Ppl will be alerted and vote to put the brakes on until we can get a new President in there
Hopefully
The damage won’t be permanent

lawyered-up.bsky.social•108 days ago

IDK - maybe his goal is to crash and burn.

foxford.bsky.social•108 days ago

It sure looks that way

rudybuick.bsky.social•109 days ago

Not easy being the smartest guy in the room.

foxford.bsky.social•109 days ago

🤣🤣🤣
Or the most handsome with the best hair and physique that the world has ever seen.🤣

stacernresists.bsky.social•109 days ago

Our home health agency is adding hospice…
We’re getting ready for it.
💔

ebeyslew.bsky.social•108 days ago

I’m thankful I was able to retire last year.

mommabearheather.bsky.social•108 days ago

As if the past five years have been any picnic for those poor folks…thank God for them!!

ginger57.bsky.social•109 days ago

After 45 yrs glad I’m out! Healthcare was on the edge and it’s been pushed over.

wine-country.bsky.social•109 days ago

So many healthcare workers left their profession after struggling and suffering through the worst of Covid. We are not going to have nearly enough educated individuals to meet the need. And now there is talk of the H5N1 bird flu. We are so f*cked.

solitudepeace.bsky.social•109 days ago

😥 You got the shaft last time too.
I am so sorry. I see you.

trublu268.bsky.social•108 days ago

Thank you … this will be bad, but we will prepare for the worst to continue to care for our patients.

saraquel24.bsky.social•109 days ago

Thank you, covid was rough enough. But this was one of the potential things that could happen that scared me the most. Not gonna help those of us who are really, really close to burned out. 🤬

dustylucite.bsky.social•108 days ago

1k still die each week from acute Covid. WHO says 1 in 10 infections leads to long term symptoms. It exhausts killer T cells in our immune systems leaving us more vulnerable to other infections. It’s why there are record levels of RSV, pertussis and mycoplasma pneumonia. That’s WITH vaccines 😩💔

lynnsc.bsky.social•109 days ago

Bad enough during Covid, I imagine another pandemic compliments of RFK Jr

bluetangler.bsky.social•109 days ago

It didn’t stop being rough, for years now. But point taken.

mustang70racer.bsky.social•109 days ago

Again.

brtqueen.bsky.social•109 days ago

The mental illness is really on display with this admin. Foreign government will refuse to allow Americans into their countries, for fear of spreading disease.

lancecarroll.bsky.social•109 days ago

This is about to get rough for ALL of us.

sflicky.bsky.social•109 days ago

It will only be rough for us if we remain working in healthcare.

tygrepath.bsky.social•108 days ago

💯

glassmirror.bsky.social•109 days ago

Now now, let the dumb people have a turn finally. What could possibly go wrong.

zarathenurse.bsky.social•109 days ago

I’m devastated. I really don’t know if I can do this 😔

karenismo.bsky.social•109 days ago

I am an ex pat living in Canada and we NEED healthcare workers!

catgurl.bsky.social•109 days ago

I work in a doctor’s office and am the only one that supported Harris/Walz. It’s unbelievable that anyone in healthcare voted in this hellscape.

gontrand.bsky.social•109 days ago

What's a little bit of polio and measles , the price of eggs won't lower itself!

solitudepeace.bsky.social•109 days ago

WOW🤨

starrysky5.bsky.social•109 days ago

It’s already rough out here. Just wait until the dump all the poor VA patients into this struggling system. Coupled with the burden of the unvaccinated, the Long Covid sufferers than have been mostly abandoned…its a sad state. Also, forget free Covid test, we’ll get free ivermectin instead

lyd312.bsky.social•109 days ago

Le sigh…..

barkysdad.bsky.social•108 days ago

Hospitals will close. Nursing home residents will be evicted.

blue-in-mt.bsky.social•108 days ago

I am a psychotherapist and am seeing an increase in referrals already. And very worried about my field if Medicaid/Medicare and ACA are cut/removed. Already heard about colleagues thinking of quitting practice.

cakunzie.bsky.social•109 days ago

So bad.

beadl0007.bsky.social•109 days ago

Burnt out

Retiring in early 2025

No Medicare.
No social security.
Lots of antivaxxers and lots of disease to come

💩

mzgreen66.bsky.social•109 days ago

Yep..
Let RFK Jr. land in the Nursing Home I worked in for 5 years..
He can be a victim of his own ignorance.

cl2empower.bsky.social•109 days ago

You know it.

angrysmile.bsky.social•108 days ago

And for healthcare-focused nonprofits. Mine is focused on eliminating the spread of HIV, but Health Secretary Kennedy doesn't believe that the HIV virus causes AIDS. We're worried about losing all federal and state funds over the next four years.

bluesmobile.bsky.social•109 days ago

I know many of them who voted for Drowsy Dementia Don Old Poorleone.

Like Covid never happened, and it wasn’t totally botched with incompetence.

mommytalks2much.bsky.social•109 days ago

…again!!!

belugasmiles.bsky.social•109 days ago

My aging colleagues who didn't bail during COVID-19 will be out the door soon.

auntiefax4.bsky.social•108 days ago

Yes, but not for big pharma and hospitals. The big bucks are in the back side. Of course the workers will pay the price along with the patients.

bookscoffeedogs.bsky.social•109 days ago

Retiring in 5 weeks. Good luck to those I leave behind.

castielcrowley13.bsky.social•109 days ago

And don't let the bird flu turn into the next pandemic

cwrw.bsky.social•109 days ago

I hate infectious disease outbreaks. It makes every part of healthcare so much more difficult.

johnmcmd.bsky.social•109 days ago

A lot left during Covid. A lot more will leave if RFK Jr does indeed run the HSS

anet2111.bsky.social•109 days ago

We lost 65% of our nurses where I worked. Couldn’t have survived without travel nurses.

johnmcmd.bsky.social•109 days ago

Inpatient nursing was decimated. RFK will affect outpatient a lot more with changes in vaccinations. Pediatrics and FM providers are likely to have big changes too 🥺

anet2111.bsky.social•109 days ago

Yep not to mention what will be happening with women’s healthcare simultaneously

johnmcmd.bsky.social•109 days ago

Oh, having RFK over women’s health is fucking abhorrent

So messed up

edrn.bsky.social•109 days ago

I was just thinking how glad I am to be retiring because the ED will be an even bigger shit show soon enough.

thebergmom.bsky.social•109 days ago

My husband is an ICU nurse and we are horrified

shortnsaucyrn.bsky.social•108 days ago

I’m a nurse with RA, so I’m on an immunosuppressant. I’m terrified.

dramaticskye411.bsky.social•109 days ago

Yes, it is. ☹️

despiteallmyrage.bsky.social•109 days ago

Trump 2.0. FFS. 🤦‍♂️

kateculliton.bsky.social•109 days ago

Somebody wake me up NOW.

whodatrn.bsky.social•109 days ago

Yeah it’s going to get ugly

emilymills.bsky.social•109 days ago

Worried about my RN educator partner. Our T1D baby boy.

tuckfrumpers.bsky.social•109 days ago

It’s all broken down in the movie The Jerk. 🤷🏽‍♂️

lawyered-up.bsky.social•108 days ago

On day 1, they should welcome him with their best mental health clinician. Perhaps, he begins to receive the therapy he sorely needs and is distracted from ruining public health.

theworldofgus.bsky.social•109 days ago

I work in Compliance for a medical equipment company. I’m just beyond words. This. Is. So. Bad.

numacuser1956.bsky.social•109 days ago

Lord have mercy on us all!

lesh.bsky.social•109 days ago

Why? Something happen? Or just the usual RFK jr nonsense?

caroline317.bsky.social•109 days ago

On everyone, my concern is law enforcement. Will trump turn them against their cities, a lot cities police men & women voted for him. This all so bad.

juliagulia512.bsky.social•109 days ago

Sorry, if you’re not vaccinated and get sick you’re on your own 🤷🏻‍♀️

swankywine.bsky.social•109 days ago

I am very integrated into the medical community. 2020/2021 was a shit show. PTSD abound. if you have someone in your social group or directly in your life that is a medical professional. Give them the space they need.
