You know you’ve had a rough few days at work when:
You sleep <6 hours/night
You are at work before 7am more days of the week than not
Working single digit hours no longer exist
Your Garmin clocks you at >8 miles per shift
Your feet and ankles are swollen twice their size
Would I trade it? No way.
Last year I posted about my decision to leave my PhD program to pursue a clinical career. Since leaving, I am much happier and truly love my job (I am working as a nursing assistant on a transplant unit to gain clinical experience). The ability to make a difference in another’s life (physically and emotionally) on a daily basis genuinely fulfills me.
Is it nice to have a great support system at home? You bet.
This guy greeted me at the door
Last night after my 3rd consecutive 12-hour shift, I came home to quite the surprise courteous of my sister (a nurse), Kelsey.
My favorite oversized T-shirt, pj’s, and robe were perfectly laid out
I was welcomed to a home filled with my childhood favorites. Not the healthiest of meals I’ve had in a while but it definitely brought me back to childhood ❤
Bagel Bites and Pizza Rolls
Celeste individual pizzas
Kraft Mac N’ Cheese
Reeces’s Pieces
And a [current] favorite
BV Costal Estates Cabernet Sauvignon
How do you unwind after a long day?
What were your favorite foods as a kid?
