All things happen in cycles. Unfortunately, I am currently in the “White Cloud” part of my work cycle. That means, dear readers, that I have been the anti-flight nurse. Ground response via mini-van? Yeah, have done 3. My last patient flight was almost a month ago. Blame it on bad [...]

I can tell how much time I have spent at the hangar by how unorganized my life becomes. It is all I can do to ensure the laundry is done, there is food in the fridge and my truck is not trashed. In the past, one by one, these things [...]

Today, Mike posted this video about social media burnout on his blog Family Medicine Rocks. After discussion with Mike about rebranding, I thought this would be the perfect time to address both, once again, via video. So Mike? Tag! You are it!

Working night shift wears me out. We do a lot of “swing shifts” from days (7a-7p) to mids (10a-10p) to nights (7p-7a). Fortunately, in-house rules exist as to how we structure our schedule but I still struggle with those damn nights. Anyone else out there have issues with swinging from [...]

A few months ago, our trauma coordinator called the hangar [...]

I must, on an almost hourly basis (or even more frequently!), remind myself that planning my work day is neigh unto impossible. Not only is it impossible, but even after starting on a project or task that being interrupted too many times to count is to be expected. Take for [...]

So many times when flying a very ill or injured patient, finding the alcohol swabs is monumentally difficult. As with everything else we do, how incredible when we are able to remove steps from a simple, but essential process. Hmmm, but what I really wonder about is the cost. And [...]

While doing a clinical rotation in OB last week, which is required for my position annually, I was bordering on a minor anxiety attack. For the first time in a very long time, I was without my cell phone. Today, while working on all of my social media accounts, surfing [...]
