Married to Medicine: When Your Partner's Job Has Less Flexibility Than Yours (opens the original)
Read excerpt
My husband is a vascular surgeon. I’m a nurse practitioner and nursing professor, teaching masters and doctoral nursing students four days a week and working clinically one day a week in inpatient cardiology.We both make decisions where the wrong call could cost someone their life. We are both, by any definition, ambitious.But at the end of the day, his job doesn’t wait, and mine can bend.That’s not a value judgment. It’s a fact about the structure of two different careers, and it took me longer
Nobody Warns You That Trust Comes Before You’ve Earned It (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There is a moment, early in clinical rotations, when one of my nurse practitioner students walks into a patient’s room for the first time not as the nurse, but as the provider.Nothing about the room has changed.

Read excerpt
Greetings and salutations! Or something.Coming to you casually with a post completely written on my phone (how do people routinely publish like this?!) with a very quick pulse check this week because it’s the first week of classes, my email is absolutely exploding, and I’m actually on leave for some family stuff (everyone is fine). A few things I’m into right now:WATCHING: Kristin Cavallari’s AD Open Door. Despite being Team LC back in the day, I love seeing inside other people’s homes and littl
