I don’t know about anyone else, but being a bedside nurse isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Yes, I will admit that most of us make it look flawless or, at minimum like we’re true superheroes wearing a cape all the time. If only, right? I get it because I prepare for my exitContinue reading “Leaving the Bedside”

It’s Working
So, you know how people make all these resolutions for the new year? Well, I’m not one of them, lol. I don’t make any because I don’t feel like I ever have to wait until a specific date to make changes. I started making changes before the new year’s inception. I started my keto journey,Continue reading “It’s Working”
What is Your Emotional Comfort?
I woke up Sunday feeling tired but restless. I climbed out of bed, eventually to start my day. I went downstairs and made something to eat and exchanged words with my oldest son about not doing some things I had asked of him. I often find myself overcome with emotions whenever I get into conflictContinue reading “What is Your Emotional Comfort?”
Her Story of Walking Through The Fire
I am up and can’t sleep, so I thought I’d be useful and write. Sometimes, when I get a concept to write about, I’ll start with a title and then save it as a draft until I’m ready to move forward. That’s what I did in the case of this blog. On Saturday, June 27th,Continue reading “Her Story of Walking Through The Fire”
Goodbyes
Today I said goodbye to some good people. They were nurses who taught me what I now know about Oncology. It is a specialty area, and it takes just as much of you as patients on the heart transplant list. When I say that, I mean that any area or most areas in nursing comeContinue reading “Goodbyes”
What Happens When You Psych Yourself Out?
I’m glad you asked that question because I have firsthand knowledge of the answer. I spend a great deal of time making myself physically sick by psyching myself out of things that haven’t even taken place yet. On the day of my launch, I was ready to call it quits. I told myself every reasonContinue reading “What Happens When You Psych Yourself Out?”
Real Quick
I thought I’d come on to speak on how life’s been for me since this pandemic. Let me start off by saying, “I am safe, thank God.” Not all clinical workers, laymen, and others on the frontlines can say that. Everywhere now has a real risk for exposure, but at my healthcare center, we’ve managedContinue reading “Real Quick”
Pandemics Don't Stop Nurses From Nursing!
First of all, let me shout out all my nurses out there. We are some freaking unbelievable, unstoppable, reliable, dependable, loving, and caring individuals. While I know that not everyone has these characteristics, I’m showing love for the ones who do. We rock it out every day for any number of hours. We leave theContinue reading “Pandemics Don't Stop Nurses From Nursing!”
Hey Y’all
I don’t have much to say because I can barely keep my eyes open. However, I will extend “well wishes” to everyone who is sick, getting sick, or just trying to stay well. It’s a scary time with all the COVID-19 business going on. But, if you follow proper hand hygiene and best practices outlinedContinue reading “Hey Y’all”
Mass Hysteria
While the world is scurrying about trying to deplete any and all resources needed for a mandated quarantine, I’m staying put. Everything and everyone is up in arms, and the COVID-19 has caused mass hysteria. I’ve watched videos of actual physical altercations over such items as toilet paper. I went to the grocery store toContinue reading “Mass Hysteria”
