Nurse Your Way Back to Jesus

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...

I’m sure I’ll get hate for this, but it’s the truth. I didn’t judge others for making their own personal choice, but they sure as heck judged ME and anyone who didn’t agree with them. I’m honestly starting to get more and more frustrated being four years out from when people had to choose between their jobs and the sh0t…. Saying that you “were forced” to get it truly isn’t accurate. We all had a choice. I’m a nurse. I’m also a single mom of two. I left my career to stand up for what I believe in. I’m not judging you for making the choice that you felt was best for you and your family based on information you had at the time… Even though many of YOU judged people like me for “not complying”. You possibly even called me a conspiracy theorist and told me that if I didn’t get it, I shouldn’t be a nurse anyway. But I AM saying that as a mental health nurse, I know the difference between holding someone down and forcing them to take an injection and giving them a choice with an ultimatum or...

💥I’m not a fan of Biden But I can acknowledge that what happened to him at the end of his term was a complete disregard for his human dignity when he had actual cognitive issues and it made me sad just to see him getting made fun of by MAGA and put on display by his own wife. 💥I’m not a fan of Zelenskyy But I can acknowledge that making fun of someone from another country in a room full of men laughing and then being berated in front of the whole world is absolutely disrespectful and is bullying at if’s worst. Vance and Trump could absolutely have been kinder and still stern. You don’t humiliate another world leader whose country is at war while trying to make a deal. 💥I’m not a fan of Trump But I can acknowledge that no matter how you FEEL about HIM, it needs to be put aside when his guests are parents of a girl who was brutally murdered and a little boy with cancer. Those who didn’t stand or clap out of respect last night should be ASHAMED of themselves. I am absolutely disgusted ...

Unpopular opinion: You don’t always have to “pick a side”. Being against one thing doesn’t mean you’re automatically in full agreement with the other thing. We can acknowledge that Trump and Vance went overboard to “show their control” or “puff up their chests” at Zelensky without actually being FOR Zelensky. It’s called basic human decency and Trump doesn’t have it. He spreads hateful speech, just like people do towards him. This doesn’t mean I “support” what Zelensky has done. Did I think Zelensky’s “disrespect” warranted the DEGREE of condemnation that he received from Trump and Vance? No… I think it was a show - Trump wanted the world to watch him “own” Zelensky. It’s what narcissists DO. AND YES I voted for Trump because it was like playing Russian Roulette with him versus Kamala (pun intended). I voted based on my Catholic beliefs and the commandments and POLICY, but that does not make it okay for him to treat other humans like shit. I am very disappointed in humanity these ...

First, to everyone accusing me of not watching the full almost hour video before posting about my opinions, you obviously don’t know me very well. I absolutely watched it all before weighing in. This is another comment I made under my other post. Let me be clear. I am not saying I agree with with Zelensky. I am saying this was a “how are we going to react to his comments and actions” situation? There are ways to put someone firmly in their place while not risking losing the trust of other foreign countries. Putin now has an upper hand. I agree with those who have said that Zelensky was definitely trying to push his limits and see what he could get. Absolutely. I also think that we planned to stop helping them with money either way, yes. AND that he definitely needed to dial it back acting like we somehow HAVE to help or owe him something, etc. But I would have also not just ASSUMED that what he said was a threat - I would have tried to clarify some things with conversation and stil...
