for the nurses

May 27

I see you.

Working shifts, even when you personally feel “under the weather”. Leaning on the Ones You Can Trust and avoiding the Ones That You Can’t.

Short term.

Traveling, a lot.

Gritting your teeth and bearing it, through those 2 to 3 month lily white** travel nurse contracts, at our New England rehab centers, hospitals, and nursing homes. Good money. There are great expectations from the Corporations that you have no emotional activation over the micro-agressions, the sexist comments (that applies to all people assigned female at birth, right?), the homophobic ones.

And, you can do that, right? Just like the men who go to the fracking sites. But how are you caretaking yourselves?

A reminder: I live here. Have lived here (the upper and lower Connecticut River Valley) for close to twenty years now.

I’m a 67 year old retired family practice M.D. gone from “feral” to rogue. I’m full of tips and tools for navigating life in these environments with minimal long term damage. Having a lot of money means little, if you stroke out, fall into alcoholism, or die of a heart attack (still the number one killer of women in America)

I can help you create “protective emotional experiences” for many of our health issues:
