As we celebrate National Nurses Day, I’ve found myself reflecting on the journey that brought me here. 🤍

In just a few days, it will be 18 years since graduating from nursing school with my ADN and heading to Nashville to begin my Pediatric Nurse Residency at Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt. Nursing has shaped so much of who I am, but I would not be where I am today without the people who believed in me before I ever believed in myself.

Especially my Pops. His love, encouragement, guidance, and unwavering belief in me changed the course of my life. He taught me perseverance, compassion, resilience, and what it truly means to care for others.

There are no words I could ever fully conjure to thank him for the impact he had on my life and the nurse — and person — I have become. 🤍

Happy National Nurses Day to all of the nurses walking alongside others through life’s hardest and most vulnerable moments.

Bottom line: Don't reserve those lifestyle approaches for mild conditions - it's the more severe, refractory ones that need them most.

Dear Parents:

Please, please be informed of the dangers of Roblox.

We've never met a parent who's said: "In hindsight, I wish I let my kids get started on Roblox sooner".

There are plenty in the other camp, though.

Younger parents, heed the warnings!

Parent Alert: Instagram Live Mapping

Instagram quietly rolled out Live Mapping just a few months ago. Most parents have no idea it even exists.

This feature allows location sharing in real time. Translation: your child’s movements can be visible to people they shouldn’t be visible to. Strangers, stalkers, predators, and peer drama all just got a GPS upgrade.

Because of this feature alone, Instagram now sits at #2 on my “Most Dangerous Apps for Kids” list.

Stay involved. Stay curious. Stay ahead of the apps.

Happy Parenting,
Officer Gomez
