Happiest Mother’s Day to all the Moms in my life…Especially my Momma!

15 years ago I paid the price with blood, sweat, tears, and hard work to become a nurse. I paid out of pocket and worked full-time throughout nursing school. It’s been paying dividends ever since. Today I was honored by my colleagues as nurse of the year. I am truly honored and very proud of this accomplishment. Looking forward to what’s next. To God be the Glory! ❤️

REGARDING NURSING: If you have never zipped up body bags on a shift, you shouldn’t be deciding how much nurses make.

If you have never watched a person suffocate to death from their own blood or sputum, you shouldn’t be deciding how much nurses make.

If you have never been punched and kicked for trying to assess your patient, you shouldn’t be deciding how much nurses make.

If you have never had someone beg you to not let them die, or to let them die, you shouldn’t be deciding how much nurses make.

If you've never had to look into a loved ones eyes or hold them while they crumble when you tell them of the death of their child, mother, father, sister, aunt, gran, papa... you shouldn't be deciding how much nurses make.

If you have never told your family your shift was “fine” to spare them from what you saw that day, you shouldn’t be deciding how much nurses make.

If you’ve never felt ribs breaking from doing CPR on someone’s family member, you shouldn’t be deciding how much nurses make.

For years nurses have been underpaid and undervalued and no one seemed to care.

Now that healthcare is on the brink of a collapse, everyone is concerned.

Nurses are leaving the profession at rapid rates.

Perhaps it’s from the years of getting 1% raises and barely being able to pay bills. Maybe it’s because nurses are asked to do more and more with less. Maybe it’s from the terrible staffing ratios. The reasons are honestly endless.

Let’s start caring about nurse retention, nurse training, fair wages, safe staffing, etc.

Let’s not get to the point where you need a nurse and there isn’t one to spare.

Copied because I am a nurse 💜🩺

As my trip to Africa comes to close, I sit back and reflect. I have met and been in the company of some amazing people. From flight attendants, to hotel staff, to drivers. Makes me look at life differently. And that is a benefit of traveling. Exposing oneself to different cultures, people, and experiences causes evolution within yourself. And it helps in getting to learn me better. London loading in 10 hours.

Yesterday I saw and sat under a double rainbow! It was so beautiful. Trying to find out why it happens and what it means. Anyone know?

I total agree with the below. If I had to add anything, I’d say start a business early and work for yourself. I’d also say use life insurance to build generational wealth., but leave it to the right people.

ADVICE TO ALL EMPLOYEES(don’t be one for long)

1. Build a home earlier. Be it rural home or urban home. Building a house at 50 is not an achievement. Don't get used to government houses. This comfort is so dangerous. Let all your family have good time in your house.

2. Go home. Don't stick at work all the year. You are not the pillar of your department. If you drop dead today, you will be replaced immediately and operations will continue. Make your family a priority.

3. Don't chase promotions. Master your skills and be excellent at what you do. If they want to promote you, that's fine if they don't, stay positive to your personal.
development.

4. Avoid office or work gossip. Avoid things that tarnish your name or reputation. Don't join the bandwagon that backbites your bosses and colleagues. Stay away from negative gatherings that have only people as their agenda.

5. Don't ever compete with your bosses. You will burn your fingers. Don't compete with your colleagues, you will fry your brain.

6. Ensure you have a side business. Your salary will not sustain your needs in the long run.

7. Save some money. Let it be deducted automatically from your payslip.

8. Borrow a loan to invest in a business or to change a situation not to buy luxury. Buy luxury from your profit.

9. Keep your life,marriage and family private. Let them stay away from your work. This is very important.

10. Be loyal to yourself and believe in your work. Hanging around your boss will alienate you from your colleagues and your boss may finally dump you when he leaves.

11. Retire early. The best way to plan for your exit was when you received the employment letter. The other best time is today. By 40 to 50 be out.

12. Join work welfare and be an active member always. It will help you a lot when any eventuality occurs.

13.Take leave days utilize them by developing yr future home or projects..usually what you do during yr leave days is a reflection of how you'll live after retirement..If it means you spend it all holding a remote control watching series on Zee world, expect nothing different after retirement.

14. Start a project whilst still serving or working. Let your project run whilst at work and if it doesn't do well, start another one till it's running viably. When your project is viably running then retire to manage your business. Most people or pensioners fail in life because they retire to start a project instead of retiring to run a project.

15. Pension money is not for starting a project or buy a stand or build a house but it's money for your upkeep or to maintain yourself in good health. Pension money is not for paying school fees or marrying a young wife but to look after yourself.

16. Always remember, when you retire never be a case study for living a miserable life after retirement but be a role model for colleagues to think of retiring too.

17. Don't retire just because you are finished or you are now a burden to the company and just wait for your day to die. Retire young or whilst energetic to enjoy waking up for a cup of coffee, enjoy the sun, receive money from your business, visit nice place that you missed and spend good time with family. Those who retire late, spend about 95% of their time at work than with their family and that's why they see it difficult to spend time with their family when they retire but end looking for another job till they die. If they don't get another job, they die early.

18. Retire at your house than at government accommodation so that when you retire you can easily fit into the society that raised you. It's not easy to adjust to live in a location after spending more years at company house or at government house.

19. Never let your employment benefits make you forget about your retirement. Employment benefits are just meant to make you relax, get finished whilst time is moving. Remember when you retire no one will call you boss if you don't have a viable business.

20. Don't hate to retire because one day you will retire either voluntarily or involuntarily.

Hope this will help you look at life positively

Take me as I am or leave me alone. I am the CEO of my life. I will hire, fire, and promote accordingly. No longer accepting disruptions, recklessness, or unhealthy relationship in my orbit. If it disturbs my peace, it's too expensive. Time to heal and live life on my terms.

If you got a chance, take it, take it while you got a chance
If you got a dream, chase it, 'cause a dream won't chase you back
If you're gonna love somebody
Hold 'em as long and as strong and as close as you can
'Til you can't
