Welcome to The Barefoot Nurse.
I truly believe that laughter is the best medicine—unless, of course, you need actual medicine… then medicine is definitely the best medicine.
I’m not sure if nursing is a “calling,” and I’m even less sure about nurses being heroes, angels, or saints. What I do know is this: we experience life differently. Maybe that’s why so many of us can find humour in situations that others—especially those in HR—absolutely cannot.
Then again, laughter and crying are both responses to exhaustion… so maybe we’re just so perpetually tired that everything starts to seem funny.
Some posts here are about education. Some are about history. Some are just me trying to make sense of the world. But this one? It’s simply a distraction. A reminder that someone out there thinks you’re fantastic, does give a s**t, and hopes you find something here that makes you laugh—or at least smile… or even groan.
Embrace the suck. Smile and remember: if you do choose to laugh, it will thoroughly confuse the people trying to ruin your day.
