So, I was looking through my contacts in my cell phone just now and saw my mom and nephew’s cell phone numbers still programmed in there as they’ve always been. I’ve mistakenly called both numbers before and I’ve called both intentionally just because. Now I understood that “THEY” would not answer but sometimes I thinkContinue reading “Grief”

So, I was so tired yesterday that I was having back spasms, neck pain and shoulder pain. Nothing new for me because it always happens when I’m extremely tired and/or stressed. I get to bed early only to wake up a few hours later and not be able to get back to sleep. Going toContinue reading “Team No Sleep”

I wonder how many times patients go into the doctor’s office, urgent care center, or ER and leave feeling like they weren’t taken care of properly. Healthcare is a hugely profitable business and healthcare costs are steadily rising. I had a conversation with a family member today because of course, I’m the nurse and soContinue reading “When Healthcare Fails Us”

I’m realizing more and more that not everyone will get your vision or what you’re doing. You have to move past those people and situations and keep your focus. Don’t lose your traction due to distractions (my dad told me that a few years ago). You have to stay the course, whatever that course isContinue reading “Just Do You”

I was busy today cleaning and cooking but mostly cleaning. It was getting late and I was starting to feel tired from going at it all day. My back was hurting and my knees were aching, but I forged forward to get my Christmas tree up and decorated. As I moved along moving furniture aroundContinue reading “What Triggers You”

Hey hey hey everybody. We are in the season of the most celebrated holidays and for some it is amazing and for others, it’s a struggle. How many of you/me have checked on your loved ones, family, friends who are the strongest and most resilient all the time? I’ll be the first to admit thatContinue reading “Tis The Season or Is It”

Hey guys, I have neglected to blog because, well, I guess life happened. I have had so many things going on the past year or so that I allowed myself to go through periods of depression and sporadic upbeat moments. So, what’s your excuse? LOL. Well, I am planning to implement blogging back into myContinue reading “Where Have You Been?”

Hey guys, I’m back and boy have we got things to talk about. Whewww…..nursing and management and leadership definitely took its toll on me. The last gig I had, took me on a roller coaster ride that landed me on a psych unit getting professional help for things I could no longer control. NOW, beforeContinue reading “I’m Back”

Here I am up at 12:46am writing to my fellow RN’s. I started off as a rotation nurse, so I worked both nights and days. That took a toll on my sleep pattern and my body never adjusted. I really wanted night shift and was able to get a new job from 7p-7a. Some nightsContinue reading “I Can’t Sleep…….UGH!!!”
