Back from Hiatus: Part 2

Alright, so now that I've brought you to the point of me graduating from nursing school, what happened after that?! A whole lot of disappointment, honestly. I spent almost an entire year applying to nursing positions and being denied, over and over again. I graduated with a decent amount of medical field experience so I …

Back from Hiatus! Part 1.

Anxiety

I want to talk about anxiety in this post. There is so much shame and stigma attached to anxiety. I started really having issues with anxiety a few years ago. It comes and goes, and is mostly related to my medical issues. I HATE going into the ER because it reminds me of the times …

A Year Ago Today…

Exactly one year ago today was the scariest day of my entire life. On this day last year, I almost lost my life. My bowel had perforated and was leaking stool and air into my abdominal cavity. It was seriously the most pain I have ever been in in my entire life!! After finding out …
