A Journey through Nursing School & Beyond...

I had to have major surgery in April of 2019. Nearly a year later and I haven’t been able to return to work.  I’m on the fence on if I’m disabled or not. It’s a battle with denial really...

I never post on this blog anymore. Oddly it's because I am just not excited about nursing anymore. I'm not a fan of my job, but I don't really want to do anything else. I feel like I'm in Mommy ...

I never seem to get around to posting on the work or school front. My other life just seems to take over. I am NOT in school right now. Maybe I'll got back in a year or two, but right now no time...

Back in the saddle working again. I decided on Home Health and I have got to admit that the freedom and autonomy of being able to make my own schedule and not have a micromanager looking down my ...

So I quit the hospital in June after my Dad passed away. The cause of death was related to medical error caused by Physician and nursing staff at the hospital I worked at. To say I am angry is to...

It's not that I am a job hopper... it's that I am NOT a job settler... Tele... as I feared is not for me. A lot of things have happened to lead me this way... but most importantly was that this j...

My RN-MSN has been put on hold. Why? Because I am about to tear my hair out. You see I had the bright idea to become a foster parent. Then, I had the bright idea to say yes to a two month o...

First hospital position day 1. It's just a week filled with new hire orientation classroom stuff, but it's exciting. Is itwrong to say that this feels like I am finally starting a real nursing jo...

Well it's on to the next next for me. Last day at Urgent Care was today and was less than Urgent. Excited to start this next chapter after a two week break and a ton of school work! :-)

Ok so I did get a call from HR from the ER position and tentatively accepted it. Given that I needed a start date that wouldn't bankrupt me and I have already given notice at work. I was starting...

Class that is. Nutrition is in the books with a pass. I kinda psyched myself out more than spent any real time on the topic. What should have taken me all of a week to complete, took over a month...

Because I've had a crazy shift this week and an annoying Boss from hell...schoolwork didn't really get done this week. More so because the stuff I have left to do I need to be at home to complete...

I like it when patients don't know how sick they really are and come in here to be treated. ER acute care patients... DKA anyone... love it more when I get that difficult stick turned into a runn...
