“With all that’s going on in the world, it’s clear that the world is in need of a major assessment.

Whether being affected by a global pandemic or wrongfully beaten & murdered by the hands of those who are supposed to serve and protect, we continue to do our job with great pride.”

Here’s to making history. Two incredible women CEO’s accomplishing a phenomenal feat through an amazing team & the awesome humans in healthcare I know & love.

Let’s change the world 🌎

“I think I’ll try Defying Gravityyy” -Me singing Broadway tunes in my head all night at work (& sometimes in the med room at 3am hehe)⁣

⁣
Working in the hospital the last year especially during this pandemic has done a number on my hands. I would sometimes see dry skin just peeling off of my fingers & palms from sanitizing constantly & scrubbing my hands with soap & water all night. I needed to make a change & fast. ⁣
⁣
That’s why I was so happy when DuaneAid reached out to me about their newest launch the Defying Gravity Nourishing Hand & Nail Cream. I’d heard non-stop raving reviews about their other products (specifically their mascara) & was curious about putting the hand cream to the test at work.⁣
⁣
I put the hand cream next to my desk at work so while I’m charting I can have a moment of self care during my shift. I love that it dries quickly & even through sanitizing I still feel a lasting softness in between reapplication. Oh and the scent of the Juniper Berry oil is incredible.

What does it mean to be a COVID-19 Fighter?⁣
⁣
It means pushing forward in times of uncertainty & fear. ⁣
⁣
It means adapting to every environment quickly because that is the only option that will save the most lives. ⁣
⁣
It means remaining vigilant at all times in a vast world of unknown. Facing a giant unlike anyone in history has seen & coming out stronger & wiser each passing day.⁣
⁣
It means absorbing the information uncovered with each shift & using that knowledge to better your practice for your patients in a time where everything it seems is an experiment. ⁣
⁣
It means holding onto one another & making sure your colleagues & peers are coping through the work being done. Being that shoulder to cry on if need be. ⁣
⁣
It means questioning everything, advocating for your patients when something feels off, listening to the fears & concerns of patients away from loved ones, patients who feel more alone than ever. ⁣
⁣
A COVID-19 Fighter is there for YOU. Be there for them. Wear a mask, wash your hands & check in on your healthcare worker friends & family. ⁣

I feel you.
I’m anxious.
I’m exhausted.

I’m an extra on the set

My PPC wanted me to try an SSRI for my IBS-C & I spoke to my therapist who agreed with the treatment & that it could benefit my generalized anxiety & the depressive symptoms I’ve developed over the last year & a half.

When I first sought mental health help 3 years ago I’d opted out of pharmacological therapies. This is because I sought help “prophylactically,” & felt therapy was enough for the stressors I was coping through at the time.

After the dissociative episodes I experienced last year in response to the trauma of working bedside & with the depressive symptoms I’m still working through, the excessive teeth grinding, lack of energy & insomnia, all of it, combined with my heightened levels of anxiety, I decided it was time to seek help again.

I’m hopeful to feel well & whole again. Normalize nurses seeking help 💜 Normalize health professionals seeking help 💜

& thank you to DuaneAid for these beautiful flowers I received as a thank you for the incredible mental health talk I had the honor of doing last week for your amazing team💜

I’ll be caring for you tonight.” It amazes me how many people I’ve said that to since I started working in healthcare.⁣

⁣This last year opened my eyes to realities I hadn’t fully understood yet. The impacts of this pandemic made this the most difficult year in my career in healthcare. It was the first year I truly recognized the fragility of life & in turn my own mortality. ⁣

⁣As a young adult I hadn’t really thought about the importance of life insurance until last summer. I opened my first life insurance policy & a weight was lifted off of my shoulders.

This is why I am proud to be partnering with DuaneAid to help those who have been working tirelessly throughout this pandemic protect the ones they love. ⁣Through the DuaneAid HealthBridge program, DuaneAid is committed to paying the premiums for $3 billion of insurance coverage and will offer free 3-year term life insurance policies to eligible frontline healthcare workers.

⁣The online application is simple & no physical exam or lab testing is required. This program is available to eligible healthcare workers on the frontlines battling Covid-19. The HealthBridge Program offers a $25,000 death benefit for an applicant age 18-50; $10,000 for an applicant age 51-60. ⁣

⁣It’s so incredibly important to realize how quickly life can change & having peace of mind is something so precious.

Wishing y’all the best potlucks & Time & a Half if you’re also working tonight 😂💜

I’m so excited to finally be taking this step in actually taking myself & my writing & this blog seriously. I want it to be a resource for all of you, much like this page has been but easier for you to access & bookmark things that resonate with you or that you want to look back on for reference. I also love writing & the word count provided on fb is normally not enough to express everything I want to.

The first blog post will be an extension of a post I did a couple weeks back called “An open letter to New Nurses,” I wanted to expand on that for my first post on the blog as Becky's was born my first year as a new nurse almost 3 years ago in May! I know new nurses need some words of encouragement right now & this first post is for you 💜

The other topics I will be drafting this week are on my experience with therapy & my decision to go to therapy “prophylactically,” before starting my first job at the bedside. And a fun one will be on my suggestions for gifts for Nurses Week where I will be listing some very useful & even transformative gifts/resources as well as some cute chachkas of course 😂
