Home

It’s important that I introduce my dad. Here is the man that may have actually invented blue steel before Zoolander. Please don’t be offended if he interrupts what you’re saying only to say “hey so and so, look” and proceeds to turn his head sharply to the side and go cross eyed trying to look […]

Phytonadione

This would be an embarrassing confession if I didn’t know that it is a human’s divine nature to make mistakes. I think as children, as nurses, probably as office workers, parents, priests, nuns, monks, and whatever else, we have all made our share of errors. Forgetting to pack your lunch, forgetting to grab your thoughtfully […]

Road Trip Inception: The Tale of Ireland

Riding shot gun in Indiana waiting for Kath to buy cough drops, and I’m thinking of Ireland. Only because it has been a highlighted topic the past few hours of the beginning of our road trip. A little over a year ago, we were on the “wrong” side of the road looking for our BNB […]

Crossing the Yellow Line

In honor of my last week at this assignment, I thought I would post my walk to work. Or more, my way to work. 12 miles, 105 minutes, 2 trains, 9 avenues. I find it strange that a commute I make so often can be filed into my mind as moments on the train. Moments […]

Christmas in the city.

I think most people have seen miracle on 34th st. I remember watching it and thinking “it’s probably not that magical in NYC during the holidays. It’s probably just a bunch of grumpy New Yorkers and lots of slush”. Well thanks to global warming, and the Christmas Spirit, I was proven wrong. Christmastime in the […]

Staying Oriented

As an over-thinker, the majority of my time is spent analyzing whether success is based off of luck or effort. At this point in my life, I don’t think the two can be separated that easily. If something works out, the way travel nursing has for me so far, then it’s a combination of the […]

We’re The Top Bell

Plenty has happened since this past January. Kath and I reunited with friends from all over the country. We also visited 15 national parks, spent 30 hours or so in the air flying to and from Tokyo, drove up from LA to the PNW, and started another assignment in Seattle. We trained for and later […]

The Birth of a Travel Nurse

One drunken night in Nashville started out our road trip to the beginning of our adult lives. Our adult lives where we left behind benefits, retirement plans, and a warm attic apartment with a fake fireplace. Now that sounds like the classic start to two white women’s journey of entitlement. Eat, pray, love your mommy […]
