Episode 4 of the Beyond the Call Light Podcast comes out Friday, Nov. 14. I interviewed TheVascularGuy about all things IV access. In this clip he talks about establishing IV access on a patient with pitting edema. #ernurse #nursingstudent #nursingschool

My thoughts on the AHA’s recommendations regarding mechanical CPR devices in prehospital settings. It’s caused quite a stir in the EMS community.

Here is a simple med math equation that literally saved my nursing school career before it even got started. Be sure to follow me on other social media channels with the same handle.

Hey nurses and nursing students! Do you know what the additives are in the blood tubes? And what they do? I’ve drawn thousands of blood tubes in my career, but for a long time, I didn’t know what was in them. #nurses #nursingstudents #ernurses

I don’t know if that applies to all brands and manufacturers. But generally speaking, it’s good practice if you’re not sure. 😁

What’s inside those blood culture bottles? Let’s talk about it. Also, there is an order of collection: aerobic before anaerobic! In my example, green before orange. #ernurse #nurses

We have so many coffee mugs. Why? If I ever have that many people at my house to need that many mugs, I’ll need to add some Irish cream to mine to survive that level of socialization.

Some have made fun of my parking. Today, I prove it’s it me, it’s the lines! Is this intentional? Like a funnel? I’ve been at this for 20+ years and never noticed this before.

🚨 ACTION NEEDED NOW

ICE’s Portland facility violated its city permitβ€”again. On Aug 13, 2025 at 10:20PM, DHS agents attacked a U.S. veteran from behind, pinned him to the ground, & tear-gassed him for nearly 2 minutes.

Gavin Newsom gets itβ€”Trump 2028 isn’t a punchline, it’s a five-alarm fire.
Trump’s already gutting democracy in plain sight because he thinks rules are for other people.

Newsom’s drawing beautiful, brutal blue maps to block his power grab.

Americaβ€”follow his lead or lose the country.

The White House posted an insane video of the police arresting the sandwich guy in a safe and wealthy neighborhood.

β€œIllegals” can’t receive federal Medicaid benefits. States that expanded their Medicaid fund it themselves. This Nazi can go first.

No humanity. Holding the child accountable? Honors student. Musician. Athlete. She’s a monster. And her boss is a monster.

Can’t tell if they were booing because he was critical of the book or if they were booing the book itself.

OK, I am giving skylight and honest go. TikTok continues to implement, ridiculous censorship, particularly those with left, leaning political ideologies. So, I am going to make a concerted effort to try building a following here.

Cowards wearing masks. That is how you know THEY know what they’re doing is illegal. Nazis.

Look, I’m of the firm belief that if you’re talking to an adult and they mention how DOGE uncovered $8m going to transgender mice, you should punch them in their face. No benefit of the doubt. You’re either incredibly stupid or incredibly ignorant.

I fully expect, by the end of 2025, to see at least one journalist and one left-leaning politician to be arrested and prosecuted. And that will be the point at which I think it will be time to leave.
