NATURAL WORLD KENYA SAFARIS

With our one weekend off in Kenya, Patty and I decided to squeeze in a quick safari. We chose Natural World Kenya Safaris because they offered two-day, private tours including accommodations. They did NOT disappoint. We were blown away by the entire experience. Continue reading “NATURAL WORLD KENYA SAFARIS” →

FIGS, THREADS FOR THREADS

Little did we know how much of an impact we were making for CURE International, Kenya. The nurses wore skirts and polos for years as their nursing uniforms, without the budget to purchase scrubs.

⁣Oh baby baby! Having only worked in Pediatrics, I wanted to share my go-to's with babies 👶🏽⠀
⁣I never could have anticipated feeling so welcomed into different cultures, religions, and practices as a nurse. With each 12-hour shift comes the intersection of trust and vulnerability between patient and nurse. Whether it be an introduction to family members via Facetime, joining in prayer or ritual, singing songs in a different language, or learning and adapting cultural practices to make the patient and family feel at home, I find myself nurtured into cultures and practices other than my own. I am completely embraced as an honorary member of the family or religion. Honored is an understatement as these experiences carry forward with me when I reflect on why I love nursing so much. It's this relationship, the trust and inclusion, the transparency of seeing the patient in their most vulnerable form and accepting them for everything they are. It's the family I form with my kiddos.⠀
⁣Officially #microchipped baby 🤖! I received both of my #Pfizer vaccinations as of yesterday and wanted to drop some knowledge (⬇🧠)⠀
⁣Happy New Year everyone! I wanted to start off this New Year getting to know one another better! To start, here are a few fun facts about me:⠀
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night 🎄
All I could have asked for this Christmas! This is for my patients, my loved ones, and those that can’t get the vaccine 💙🧡
