I Made It
An ode to myself
If only you knew how long I’ve been chasing freedom.
It’s been a long journey getting to this place of freedom.
I fought tooth and nail tryna make my way through this ruthless trail.
None of it came easy. Quite the grueling tale.
I set a goal for myself and was determined to accomplish it.
This is one of my greatest accomplishments.
Don’t ever tell me there’s a bite out of life I can’t chew.
I feel invincible. There’s nothing I can’t do.
I had to train my mind on how to achieve success.
Take a good look at me now. I live and breathe success.
I’ve got nothing to lose and the world to gain.
Ibuprofen spirited in a world of pain.
If a new obstacle comes my way I’ll fade it.
When it’s all said and done I’m really thankful I made it.

So You Decided To Become a Nurse Practitioner:
So you decided to become an "Advanced Practice" nurse. Congratulations!... is what I would say if this was a good idea. Grad school? In this economy? What were you thinking? Likely it was something along the lines of either 1) “I've seen these other chucklefucks do it— Why can't I?” or even 2) “I've got a nice career, I should shake it up. I miss feeling like I have no clue what I'm doing.”
