Being on the other side of the hospital bed this week changed me.
Watching my dad go through two major back surgeries (and a quick ICU stop) gave me even deeper empathy for families who live in those hallways for weeks and months.
So grateful to be a nurse. Even more grateful to understand their hearts a little better. 🤍

✨ One year as a nurse + officially graduated from nurse residency! 🎉 My coworker and I presented our EBP project, “Affirming Beginnings: LGBTQIA+ Education for Perinatal Nurses,” after discovering a huge gap in education and care for LGBTQIA+ families. 🌈

This past year has been full of growth, learning, and so many meaningful moments at the bedside. I’m beyond grateful for my job, my unit, my coworkers, and all the incredible support people who have been part of this journey. 💜👩🏻‍⚕️
