The One With all the Division

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 posts on certain platforms under alias names for "fear" of what others or their jobs will "think". They agreed, but stayed silent and looked to me, and now they get pissed because my opinion differs. Funny.

The ones who know I'd never hand out "misinformation" or viewpoints based on "just complying" or rolling over or being a sheep.
(BTW deliberately handing out misinformation is not the same thing as forming a hypothesis based off of my concrete observations. that is called my viewpoint, perspective, belief, or opinion).
So stop all of you with that ridiculous terminology that if you recall, was used for YEARS by the very side you say you HATE.

If you don't know how my brain works by now, if you don't know that I'm educated enough to do my own research, if you don't know that I DON'T CARE IF YOU AGREE WITH ME OR NOT, then you obviously don't know me at all.

I got criticized for YEARS during and after COVID, even taken to court and left my job. You think NOW I'm just going to be some idiotic sheep with none of my own thoughts? I was criticized by SO many, and thank GOD I did not give in to those telling me I was wrong, because I WAS NOT.

I will always share my observations, my beliefs, my opinions, and I don't care if they fit YOUR narrative or THE narrative or A narrative. Heck, I've been defending my Catholic faith since a middle schooler getting ostracized by mean girls in 7th grade (some who ironically now come on here liking and commenting on my God posts).

And to those who won't drop me or be rude to me just cause my opinion doesn't match up with yours, THANK YOU!

ADPIE: Assessment, Diagonosis, Planning, Intervention, Evaluation

That's how I do nursing, AND THAT IS HOW I DO LIFE.

MY original acronym in my book is based on that method as well. And I'm working on getting it copyrighted, which is why I haven't shared it much.

CRISIS:
Confront the crisis (or issue) and develop coping skills
Reframe thoughts, remove negativity, and reflect
Identify and assess your situation
Set healthy internal and external boundaries
Implement the plan and evaluate effectiveness
Silver linings, smiling, and serotonin


My message for you this Sunday is:
BE YOU, follow GOD, and trust YOUR GUT

The One Where Everyone Had a Choice

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...

The One With the Corrections Officer Strike

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...

The One Where You Learn to Have Empathy

💥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 ...
