Saw this headline show up on the “Twitter on Nurses” section of OX3:
Nurse Charged With Injecting Patients With Bleach
Basically, a former nurse, working at a DaVita Dialysis Center, injected two of her patients with bleach. Pretty horrific.

There are two main things I want you to see:
1. The color scheme - I chose to go with some different blues and I ditched the orange for red. Overall I’m happy with [...]
I’ll bet some of you are going to hate me for saying this, but nursing isn’t such a bad job when you only do it part-time. And recovery room nursing isn’t so bad either, even though I’ve complained about it in the past. All it took was one shift back in the MICU to make [...]
