“The night shifts tend to be the worst. We will

“The night shifts tend to be the worst. We will be more short-staffed on a night shift and I’ve worked night shifts where I don’t get any break at all in 12 hours, which is so not healthy.

I am just coming up to 12 weeks pregnant, and about four weeks ago was the last time that I’d worked a night and didn’t get my break at all. And the next day I ended up in my own emergency room with a hemorrhage. I don’t know if it’s related, but it’s strange timing. Everything worked out OK as far as the baby and the pregnancy, but from there my family doctor wanted to put me on modified duties. It took close to four weeks for me to find out that my manager declined putting me on modified."
.
For the second interview in our five-part series on the state of Ontario hospitals right now, as told by nurses who work in the ICU and emergency departments, we spoke to Carrie Donaldson*. Carrie has been working as a nurse for a year, and since last June has worked in an emergency department in a Durham Region hospital. Carrie shares what nursing is like both for a new nurse like herself and her more experienced colleagues.

We’ve partnered with @therebelmama & @thisismomsatwork to support nurses and help put pressure on our elected officials to change Bill 124.

“I’m a big talker. And I love asking people questions and just getting to know them, who they really are, and what their stories are about. And I just love talking. It’s so natural for me.” - @madisontevlin
💕
Madison Tevlin has always been a conversationalist, someone who is curious about others, and always loves to ask questions, so hosting the new talk-show web series ‘Who Do You Think I Am?’, was a natural fit for her. But for Madison, the show is also about showing people that having Down syndrome doesn’t define her.
💕
When sitting down with Sarah Nicole Landry in Episode 1, she cuts to the chase asking, “What is your definition of influencer?” It’s a question we’ve all been pondering for years. The conversation then moves to the “why” behind @thebirdspapaya and the two go on to talk about body image, depression, self-love, and so much more.

This weekend, five years ago, we joined 470,000 others for the Women's March on Washington. We're reflecting on that moment in time, thinking about what has happened since then, and what has not...considering both progress and regression. One thing that we keep going back to, is how scary that moment was. We're living through a chaotic time right now, but that January jn 2017 was also incredibly charged, volatile, and frightening. Looking through our pics is a reminder that the only constant is change. Were you also there? Or at the women's march in Toronto or a different city? It feels like a lifetime ago. It also feels like the world has not had a quiet and chill moment since.

You made it to Friday on possibly the most challenging week in the calendar year, and definitely the most confusing and stressful January we've ever known. So give yourself a 👏👏👏, and then settle in for something good. Ozark Season 4 is now available to watch on @netflixca. And honestly, this ☝️is our expression most of the time these days. Wishing you an easy weekend. ♥️
