  • “I can totally be fun,” I whisper to myself, as I take my Pepcid, a multi-vitamin, & a melatonin before setting my alarm for five-o’clock in the morning...”Like, ::SO:: much fun,” I remind myself...as I nestle my dirty hair into the neck of my sleep shirt & pick up another PDF copy of ::another:: book to add to the hoarder-style collection of resources, allowing me to toe the fine line between being duly informed & utterly overwhelmed. “Knowledge is badass...isn’t it?” 😴📚💉📚💉😴📚💉CRNA school: where exam week is ::every:: week...so your weekends become a whooooole lot nerdier! 🤓

  • Healthcare is a funny world. We are touted for our compassionate patient care, often sacrificing our own lives for the sake of others, & yet we are ingrained in a culture of competition that borders on damaging. We treat success as though there is a limited supply to be rationed. In reality, there’s plenty left over for seconds.  And we need to remember this, during those moments of hazing, bullying, trash talk, gossip, & lateral violence. We need to recognize the the culture of healthcare is one that is dynamic, & yes the stakes are high & no not everybody can always get the exact job or be accepted into their dream program or score their perfect residency, but that’s not a reason to take it out on others. Instead, we need to embody a culture of “we are all in this together.” We need to do better. Be better. Act kinder. Be more open & helpful & accepting of the others in our tribe. Because, as everyone knows, the healthcare world is a small one, & some day, we may be asked to work in the same unit or hospital or operating room, with a common purpose in mind. I feel EXCEEDINGLY grateful that my cohort of classmates has bonded in a way where we truly are in this thing together. That kind of support lends itself to success on all fronts, & helps everyone make it through the highs & lows. Clap when others win. Offer your support when they don’t. It’s already hard enough without worrying about who wants to see you fall. Do your part to do better, especially when the chips are down. 💉💋

Happy...day, to everyone out there working hard/ playing harder / studying hardest. I feel you. 💉💋

  • GABA is like the coconut oil of the medical community. Need sleep? GABA. Nervous? GABA? Wanna get buzzed? GABA. Got a weird rash? GABA. Kid got croup? GABA. In the world of anesthesia, GABA is king: we pour that shit on everything. GABA is like the essential oil of inhibitory neurotransmitters. My sister @smoochesbyves is a pharmacist & she taught me YEARS ago...when in doubt, pick GABA lol...who knew her advice would be such sage wisdom someday? 😭📚💉 .

(And for those of you who want to know more, gamma-aminobutyric acid, or GABA, is the chief inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. Its primary role is reducing neuronal excitability throughout the CNS...aka, it keeps people asleep! 😆👌🏻)
