“A father is neither an anchor to hold us back, nor a sail to take us there, but a guiding light whose love shows us the way.” Dad, how can I begin to capture the countless reasons I am thankful for you in one post?! June is a month where we get a little extra…
Mother’s Day Musings
“Are you Megan’s daughter? You look JUST like her!!” This statement always makes me smile. As I’ve grown older I get told more and more often that I am like my mom, and nothing could make me happier! My mother is my biggest role model, and to be told that I look and act like…

Nursing school tests you physically, mentally, emotionally,…
A New Chapter
Let us never consider ourselves finished, nurses. We must be learning all of our lives. –Florence Nightingale Work for a cause, not for applause. Live life to express, not to impress.
