⁣In honor of #NursesWeek I have teamed up with @mdfinstruments to gift 1 lucky winner a ProCardial Titanium Stethoscope! ⠀

⁣⁣ ⁣In celebration of Nurses’ Week and all the walls and stigmas nursing continues to break, I have teamed up with @amnnurse to gift one lucky winner over $400 worth of goodies! ⠀

⁣It’s so funny how life works out. I always loved medicine. My Papa, a retired general surgeon, would take me to the hospital on my summer visits and parade me around. I knew medicine would always be there so I pursued my dreams of becoming a famous broadway dancer in New York. Then at 16 I was diagnosed with a rare nerve disease and spent my entire senior year of high school in the hospital. I will never forget the nurses that painted my toe nails on the night of my homecoming dance, the nurses who bathed and wiped me when I was unable to do so, or the nurses that danced with me while I was in my wheelchair.⠀⠀

⁣In nursing school I brought homemade treats to all of my clinical shifts to:⠀

Chugging my coffee because this girl is moving on Saturday to the city that doesn’t sleep...New York! ⠀

⁣I am finally coming out of one of the lowest lows I have hit with nursing. It all started with feelings of isolation paired with months of very hard patient assignments. It then grew when we lost one of our longterm patients that had become family. It continued to grow as I walked up to nurses talking about me. It peaked as I held the hand of my dying baby, performed post-mortem care, and tucked my baby’s body into the COVID filled morgue. ⠀
