We can’t stress how grateful we are for the brave nurses (who, in our eyes, are superheroes) keeping us safe on the front lines during this unprecedented COVID crisis.

For MONTHS, they’ve put their own health at risk while working never-ending shifts in packed hospitals where they care for countless infected (or soon-to-be infected) patients without adequate equipment to properly do their job.

At some point, we hope to personally give them all of the flowers they deserve but, until then, we’ll continue spotlighting essential baddies making a difference in hospitals across the world.

Hit the flip for MORE essential baddies slaying on the front lines.

“Happy Nurses Week!💕To all my Nurses, Murses and student nurses, this week is dedicated to us! This profession is challenging yet rewarding on so many levels and I’m so thankful to have chosen such a career. Not only do we dedicate our lives to care for others but it’s truly our passion. So always remember that nurses are Gods angels in scrubs, we’re pretty lit” – we agree. Keep going!

“It’s crazy that a week from now I’ll be graduating from college. Skegee has given me the opportunity to meet some great people, and create some great memories. I’m forever grateful.” – Tuskegee produces the most beautiful healthcare professionals and it’s not even close

“Call me weird but I enjoy drawing blood💉

Nursing tip: Persevering the patients vein requires technique – so be patient and practice!

These are only a few of the items you will need.

When I was in nursing school YouTube helped me a lot! It gave me a visual example of what I was expected to do.

Shoutout to all my visual learners!!!” – we love a good tutorial

Congratulations @_kaypee_ ! Welcome to the best profession there is!” – yessss bad & brainy

“Started my career grateful for the opportunity to heal others with my hands… actually led me to finding my voice and the desire to heal others with my with my words. I do both & I have found the truest joy in the latter.⁣

Where you start may not be exactly where you finish. #GodsPlanOverMine” – so inspiring!

““What she tackles, She conquers!” One of the many quotes that I live by. I can’t believe in just 1 more day, I will be graduating with my second Bachelors & it will be in nursing! Ever since I was around the age of 7, I always knew that I wanted to be a health care professional. And the fact that my dream is finally about to come true is amazing to me! I put a LOT of studying, sweat, and tears into this program (I couldn’t get below a 90% in ANYthing) & was in Honor’s Society!

It truthfully was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to go through. From almost not passing my first test, to losing my beautiful granny, it taught me how to be independent, strong, & resilient! God called me on this earth to do this & that’s what I WILL do! Next stop: NCLEX” – we’re rooting for you!

“happy nurse practitioner week!👩🏻‍⚕️💕 nursing is the heart of healthcare at EVERY level! i chose this career on purpose and with purpose 😍 my most FAQ: why did i choose NP instead of MD? if you didn’t know, i started my education journey off as pre-med and switched to nursing my sophomore year of college when i learned about the NP career! i always loved the holistic and compassionate approach that nursing gave while allowing you to reach high levels with all the different degrees and specialties you can obtain. this field is limitless and it’s an art of medicine, science, and compassion” – keep being amazing

This week in politics, the vibes are messy, alarming, and straight-up confusing. From late night TV being snatched off the air to vaccine policies getting hijacked, it’s giving “WTF is going on?” Let’s break down the headlines everyone’s talking about inside. First Amendment on the Chopping Block Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show has been pulled from ABC, and Stephen Colbert’s show? Cancelled completely. The official line is murky, but the bigger picture is loud. Free speech is being tested under the Trump administration. While Trump once said he’d “honor” the First Amendment, recent moves suggest he’s working off a remix version that only benefits him. Case in point? The Guardian reports his $15 billion lawsuit against The New York Times. A judge already tossed it out, saying Trump’s claims about “false content” violated federal rules. Still, the fact that these lawsuits and cancellations keep happening has people questioning the future of free expression in America. CDC Shake-Up Sparks Health Concerns Meanwhile, over at the CDC, things are getting political fast. Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has basically turned the agency upside down, firing all 17 members of the vaccine advisory committee and replacing them with appointees that include vaccine skeptics. On top of that, the CDC director is out, high-level staffers are resigning, and decisions about vaccine safety are suddenly more about politics than science. Public health leaders are calling this move dangerous, saying it dismantles independent oversight just when Americans need clarity most. According to California’s government website, they are one of the few states pushing back on the federal government’s stance. California, Washington, and Hawaii aren’t taking it lying down. The states have formed an alliance pushing back on the feds, promising to keep vaccine guidance rooted in science, safety, and transparency. Their health officers are reviewing guidelines from trusted medical groups like the AAP and ACOG to ensure communities still have access to clinically recommended vaccines. Trump & Xi Meet About US TikTok’s Next Chapter And then there’s TikTok. After years of “will they, won’t they?” drama, Trump announced that he and Chinese Premier Xi Jinping approved a deal for TikTok’s U.S. operations. According to BBC, the plan reportedly hands control to a group of U.S. investors, sidestepping a shutdown. Trump called the call with Xi “productive” on Truth Social, and even, teased a face-to-face meetup at the APEC summit in South Korea this fall. From free speech battles to vaccine wars and TikTok drama, this week in politics has us all asking the same thing: WTFGO?
