THAT is a good Nursing Week slogan!
I’ve rarely been impressed with Nsg Week themes. In 2015 it was “Nurses: With you every step of the way.” Not so much. Nsg has often ignored the needs of the racialized, Indigenous communities & people who are homeless.rabble.ca/health/pandemi…

Agencies charge more than $300/hr, six times more than what staff nurses make. It’s demoralizing for #nurses who often support & mentor #agencynurses , many who are new grads. Hospitals should pay staff nurses more & treat them w/respect #retentiontoolkit cbc.ca/news/canada/ne…

A lot of fibromyalgia patients were misdiagnosed. They are actually EDS. Hereditary.

This is the Beighton Scale used as one of the components for diagnosis of hypermobile Ehlers Danlos.

I thought I was too chunky to know if my elbows and knees are hypermobile until I asked my PT. Not surprising that they are. In addition to pinky joints, one thumb and waist.

Excellent thread on lc!

I look forward to the research on this and implications Brad Watching my 17 with lc and EDS is almost unbearable. I wish there was more to help her. POTS is raging after 2nd Covid infection last July.

We need our farmers in Ontario. They provide so much that is on our tables.

If you ever find yourself in a hospital and English is not your first language, make sure to ask for an interpreter through the hospital’s interpretation services. Do not let any healthcare provider rush you into providing you information you do not understand.

Also, do not…

Birgit Umaigba-Omoruyi 🇳🇬🇨🇦 We’ve been using a service “Voyce”. it connects you with a live interpreter onscreen in any language you can think of. Makes for a much better conversation, and the patients/families really respond well. Access is within minutes.

Any ideas for a 50th anniversary gift? No sports, theatre or costly travel.
