Nurse Your Way Back to Jesus

  Where did all the allegations come from regarding Rebecca, Renee Good's partner? Do we have proof before people start spreading these things? Just want to make sure. Cause I think it's funny that people are acting as if that could almost justify this death (same thing when Rob Reiner and Charlie Kirk died) - hypocrisy. If it is true, I pray that those children are safely in another home because that is vile to do to a child. As a mental health and corrections nurse, I have seen and heard MANY vile things and you know what my daughter and I do every night? WE PRAY. We pray for all my patients, all the criminals, all the homeless, all those suffering from evil, all the priests, all the frontline workers and first responders, those who have not yet found Jesus, and so much more. Here is a fun post called you don't have to pick a side to know that all of these things are wrong and VILE, and should not be accepted or condoned no matter what "political side" you'...

You know what I get the absolute biggest kick out of in all of this? How many of my "friends" who are apparently only friends with me when I agree with their exact thought process. The ones who agreed with my LOUD AF CRITICAL THINKING PROCESSES allllll during COVID. The ones who KNOW that I don't listen now, nor have I ever, to the media and always use my NURSING and LIFE assessment skills in order to form MY OWN opinions and conclusions (that often go against the grain). The ones who are personally attacking me and saying I'm the problem, when I simply have an open mind and try to look at a situation from a 360 degree lense, instead of blindly following what the people I USUALLY tend to agree with are saying. The ones who said they were looking forward to reading posts from me because I often said things that others are thinking but aren't brave enough to say out loud. They didn't want to speak out so instead they would privately message me or only like my p...

   Someone commented on one of my Facebook posts today, “imagine going to work everyday and people interfering with you trying to do your job.” My response: “I DO. I go to work as a psych nurse and get harassed by others daily… By verbally and physically assauktive patients interfering with us and with the care we can give to other patients, By the ER not doing their job and coming over and harassing us to take more patients then we can safely take, or those who are not yet ACTUALLY medically cleared, By visitors screaming at us and threatening our jobs and our lives, And by police bringing us people who are criminals …instead of arresting them. That’s part of the job. I/we know what I’m/we’re signing up when we go into these fields. I’ve been physically attacked and guess who DID NOT help me out? My coworkers who sat there while she was escalating, and the officer I gave my written statement to, who DECIDED to put it down as “harrassment” instead of an “assault” when I was ou...

Today marks the first day of 💚Mental Health Awareness Month💚… Being a mental health advocate is something I have dedicated my life to and will never stop speaking out about. Mental Health is brain health. It is medical, physical, emotional, and spiritual health. It is ALL OF IT. And it affects every single human being. Just because you don’t have a “diagnosis” does not mean you are not affected by mental health and well being. Psychosis, addiction, depression, anxiety, suicide … you’d be surprised at the people it can affect. ANYONE. At any time. You never know until you are faced with something how you will handle it. I see the shock from family and friends (and even the person having the issues) more than I’d like to say. Everyone thinks it can’t happen to them or their loved one, until it does. If we don’t take care of one piece of our body, the other pieces are not okay. We all have things that have happened in our lives, good and bad, that have molded us into the exact person we...

Things that happened today, Wednesday 3/26: 😳 Woke up late (never a good start) and barely made it to school on time due to a mini family medical issue (don’t worry everyone is okay!!) 🙏🏻Made it to the appointment but it was a packed office - that took all morning and with no more answers. 🐶 Ella made it the whole time I was gone without having any accidents, but my bathtub is still full of blankets and my yoga mat soaking from when she 💩 in my car two nights ago, and from Pindar 🐱 rubbing his butt all throughout my apartment yesterday (yep every room). 😩But Wait! I went upstairs to talk to Kelcey later in the afternoon for not even 10 minutes and Ella apparently got up for the second time all day … when I came downstairs she had pooped and peed in my spare room and again tracked it all through the house. 🧳 We leave for what’s supposed to be an amazing trip for the weekend to see Carrie Underwood in Vegas and can’t find our suitcases since moving last summer. OH!! And I won a ...

As a former Corrections Nurse, I will not remain silent on the issue going on in New York State right now. Corrections Officers are taken for granted. They are forced to work 8 extra hours on an almost daily basis. *Imagine going in for a 16 hour overnight shift from 3pm to 7am and then at about 6:30am when you are "finally almost done" you are ordered to stay until 3pm the next day - for a total of a 24 hour shift that you hadn't planned on. *Imagine being the only person assigned to a cell block for your entire shift, sometimes without a break because you are short staffed. *Imagine knowing that the prisoners are accused but not yet convicted of murder, and you have no idea if they might have a shiv/shank in their cell/room that could be used on you at any given moment. *Imagine knowing that when the nurses come on the unit with another officer to give out medication, you then feel responsible for their lives, too and would never forgive yourself if you fail to keep th...
