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...

This was originally just posted as  a comment under one of my Facebook posts. Welcoming some friendly “debates” and opinons. If anyone name calls each other or is rude to one another I will remove the comments - I don’t care if you're a troll or a friend. I actually want to understand how people watched this and heard and saw the same thing but perceived such a different interaction. I took it as Zelensky AGREEING with Trump who was insulting our efforts. Trump kept saying Biden did this, Biden did that - which I obviously agree with. But it seemed like things were “okay” and then Zelensky asked one question they didn’t like, then they just completely freaked out at him. And then Zelensky asked them if they’d ever been to Ukraine in order to be able to talk about what is going on there and JD stumbled over his words saying UH yeah i watched things…. WHAT??? That is literally the SAME THING “the right” had been attacking Kamala and Biden for. I get it - America first, but if someo...

PSA: Unless you talk to someone regularly or truly know them, it is rude and very disrespectful to come on their page and publicly comment something like “maybe you should take a break from social media” (This was someone I met ONCE at a concert about 10 years ago, and yes I removed the comment). My cousin kindly texted me last night night to see if I am okay and I appreciated the thought. I then explained to her the reasons for why I posted so much in one day. And that it was very intentional and it has to do with testing the algorithm for reasons that I explained to her but it’s nobody else’s business. Sometimes people use social media for things other than just “social” recreation and fun. When you have a goal, a dream, something you are trying to achieve it’s often very difficult and lonely to get there unless you only surround yourself with people who have already climbed the mountain. I truly don’t post as much on here anymore, but again wanted to test the algorithm because it ...

I’m gonna ask a serious question right now: What American can actually tell me that they don’t have the same “rights” as any other American? Your life is what you make it. Your success is dependent on your drive and motivation. If you want to do more or make more - that is up to YOU. I found it hilarious that the millionaires at the Grammys wearing dresses that cost more than my life were talking about oppression. If they came from nothing, they rose to the top. So stop with the oppression. It’s victimization. If you want to change something, do it and stop complaining. Besides, God is what matters and He is in control. If we spent more time living for and praying to him and thanking him for LIFE instead of whining about some lack of freedom in America, the world would be a better place. In my opinion the women’s rights women can go to hell. I never voted to work as a woman. I’m cool with being a stay at home mom. Haha. In 2025 nobody in America is “oppressed” … they are living in the ...

A non-religious friend asked me (in regards to my thoughts about A.I. being very much against Christianity and wanting to try and understand my view), “But didn’t God create men and women?” - meaning He created our brains. This was my response: Satan disguises himself (or doesn’t) in everyday things, people, shows, music, words, and “inventions” or science. Humans who are working for Satan can easily create something that is not what God wants. That’s why I pray for every single decision I make now etc. If something is partially bad or feels wrong that is God pulling us away from it telling us to open our eyes. God wouldn’t create something so divisive. If it’s divisive it means the devil is in there somewhere. If it goes against the commandments, it’s not from God. The rules and Bible don’t change just because the world changes and “modernizes” - and humans are still humans with sin. So that’s why individual priests pastors and bishops can be bad, the pope is not even teaching traditi...

Why is it so difficult for people to wrap their heads around this??!!! ***To be clear… this has nothing to do with loving all humans and believing we are all children of God!! I’m not talking about those who have been here for YEARS trying to move their status to citizenship and are working, paying taxes, married, etc. I’m talking about the past FOUR YEARS of people taking advantage knowing that administration would do nothing.*** The “Immigrants” who are being deported are sneaking in to our country and murdering innocent people, human trafficking and raping our children and bringing drugs. The key word here is ILLEGAL. If you don’t want to be separated from your families and children, DON’T BE A CRIMINAL!! It’s the same thing as a father or mother going to jail or prison and not seeing their kids. Don’t commit crimes and you won’t get arrested. Oh and one more thing - the kids probably shouldn’t be learning from parents who are criminals should they? So the kids are going to be saf...

I read an article today on nurse.org titled, “Lawmakers Want to Ban A.I. from Using the Title ‘Nurse’ - Only Humans Are Nurses.” In case you want to read it: https://nurse.org/news/nurse-ai-ban-law/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR2NlNNVir0jJXw9NwnaNjTPy6M0kqg5aVJl2V7HhswzvkwzeY0VEUQHIIA_aem_60sAc76m1C6Kzo6_yULaZQ My thoughts as a nurse (and just as a real human)? GOOD. I hate A.I. with a passion. I wish they’d ban it completely like they just banned men taking over women’s spaces. A.I. is technically against Christianity. Anything or anyone that is trying to “play God” and is not from God is from something else - the evil one. Taking power away from humanity - why would anyone actually welcome that and want that? So I don’t support it at all, and I urge some of you using it in your lives as Christians to truly PRAY ABOUT IT. It also allows people “to write a whole book” or blog or post or anything they want, but if they aren’t actually doing the writing or the thinking and putting their n...

Say what you mean and mean what you say. It can work wonders in your life. I’ve taught my girls since they could talk and emote to always express themselves in a healthy way and not hold things in. I found this video of my now 11yo being able to put her feelings into words better than most adults can at age 3. My ex and I had been going through a divorce and I knew that she needed to learn healthy coping skills when her “terrible 3s” were not just seeming like normal tantrums. She was confused and angry and missing whichever parent she wasn’t with. By teaching her to “use her words” and tell me whatever she felt inside, and combining that with prayer and developing a relationship with God at a young age, she was able to learn how to cope in a more healthy way. And now she still uses these techniques years later and has the most beautiful relationship with God and with BOTH parents. REMEMBER: Divorce affects the kids, too. Make sure you are paying attention to their cues and get help fo...

December 1, 2024 Clinical depression for 3-4 months a year that has no Rhyme or Reason and doesn’t matter what’s going on is sometimes debilitating.  I honestly am embarrassed to say that I might end up having to take meds this year to feel “safe” from my own thoughts.  Seems to get worse each year. Also holidays aren’t necessarily always a great thing and more stress and I can’t necessarily explain it but sometimes bring more sadness than joy. January 31, 2025 I often post stories about my own past experiences or types of struggles shared by previous patients/clients, in hopes that they might help somebody else feel less alone. I know that so many people suffer from depression and specifically seasonal affective disorder (SAD) up here in New York and the northeast. I have personally dealt with both S.A.D. and P.M.D.D. for as long as I can remember, but as I get older it seems to get worse. Perhaps it’s because of the fact that I am legally and physically “stuck” here due...
