today the texas governor ended our mask mandate and opened up facilities to 100%. i am honestly so mad i could cry. i am mad for my colleagues, my family, my friends, and anyone who has lost someone to Covid. my heart hurts tonight as we get ready to go back deeper into our bubble unnecessarily. we were on the road to recovery, to somewhat of normalcy. and you governor, just slapped us in the face. tell me you hate healthcare workers and science without telling me you hate healthcare workers and science.

Today, alongside a nurse I grew up with at the bedside, I found joy and hope as we administered vaccines to the Austin community. Each patient we touched, was ready. Was relieved. Was tired.
Yet despite it all, no one closed their eyes or looked away, even those that were afraid. We’ve all been changed. We’ve all lost something. Maybe family. Maybe friends. Maybe a career, time, space.
But I think for a lot of us- sitting in this chair was our moment. Our moment to stare down our grief- to come out of our darkness and raise light, knowing we were braver than when we started.
What I saw today was a beautifully broken community find the courage to slowly put the pieces back together. To trust science and medicine. To trust each other and begin again. I am forever grateful to this 0.5ml of resilience. And forever grateful for those who carried us here 💛

hi there friends. i’m rachel. i am an author, creator, nurse, and mama among many other things. i just wanted to say hi and tell you that 2020 sure has been an ass kicker. and as much as we resisted, it has given us time to reflect, pivot, and sit still.
nurse tribe has done just that. this is not a post to tell you that good things are coming or that i have an exciting new announcement. frankly, this is a post to tell you that it’s okay to turn it off. contemplate where you’ve been. and just figure out what the hell you want for dinner.
you don’t have to decide what you’re going to do tomorrow or the next year. just show up. be present. try to live in this moment. and if you need to escape every now and then, that’s okay too. let the light in when you can, but also know it’s okay to close the door and pull the covers over your head if you need that too. ❤️

you are not alone. that desire to leave the bedside? the gravitational pull to it? we are all made up stupidly-awesome-beautifully-different chemistry which makes our stories that much more colorful. but whatever you are feeling. you are not alone. and i think it’s important to hear that. my nursing story is messy. and it took me until now to figure out exactly where i needed to be. but you know what? that could change. as we grow and evolve so do our desires and needs. nothing is ever permanent. i have grown accustomed to starting over. trying again. finding new pieces of me along the way. but in case you need to hear this tonight- i hope you know are never alone. 🖤
