Hey friends! I never thought I’d wear scrubs again, but here I am! The last time I wore scrubs was when I worked as an Oncology nurse 10 years ago. When I transitioned from being an RN to an ARPN, I was so excited to wear "real clothes" to work 😂. However, in 2016, a car accident with an 18-wheeler cut my APRN career short, and suddenly I found myself as the patient instead of the provider. It's been a humbling, frustrating, and maddening experience to be in need of care after years of giving care.
Yesterday, something special happened. I was able to put on scrubs again!! For the first time in 10 years, and this time, it signified a milestone. I am functioning as a nurse again! It may be in a different capacity, and only a few times a month, but I made it. I'm doing it. One day at a time. Putting on the scrubs felt like coming home, and I'm excited to see where this fits in to the new nursing education journey that I have been on. First my continuing education business, now I’m adding credentialing nurses aides to my tool belt. Thanks for all your love and support! ❤️
P.S. What do you think about my🦉?🤩
