Hello???

Is anyone out there?

If you are reading this, then thank you for checking out my blog. I haven’t been a faithful writer, so thanks for checking on me.

My life is changing. The light has gone dark for that chapter of my nursing life. It is time to leave the stories of intensity, joy, friendship, and then sadness, in my life in the operating room. Honestly, I don’t know if I will ever go back to it. BUT. I will always be a nurse.

The good news is that I am training to be a Nurse Coach. I am choosing to step out of my comfort zone and head into a field where there is an opportunity to help people BE WELL. I will emerge online in new iteration of myself as a healer. I am excited about the possibilities.

Blood, Guts, and Coffee was created in an effort to speak up for my nursing specialty. Now I want to do more. Instead of complaining or mourning what healthcare has turned into, I want to spend my energy moving FORWARD into a better future for patients and healthcare workers.

Take care of yourselves, Dear Readers…
