โ ๏ธ tw: pregnancy loss
๐ I didnโt fall off. I was surviving.
Over the last year, my real life got a lot louder than the internet โ trying to grow our family, walking through loss, then a high-risk pregnancy ๐คฐ๐พ and finally a C-section and newborn life. There wasnโt space to โshow upโ online and still take care of my body, my mind, and this baby.
๐๐พ So I chose the thing I tell nurses to choose but rarely give ourselves permission to do: I picked my health, my healing, and my actual life over being โconsistentโ on social media.
โก๏ธ Now that Iโm easing back in, Iโm not interested in pretending it was easy or acting like burnout is just part of the job. I want Selfish Nurse Club to be proof that you can be a nurse, a mom, a whole humanโฆ and not abandon yourself in the process.
๐๐พโโ๏ธ If any part of this feels a little too familiar, comment CLUB so I know youโre here, and Iโll send this kind of nurse motivation straight to your inbox. ๐
