For those new to following, I’d like to introduce myself and say welcome. I’ve been an RN for almost 20 years now. My experience spans from intensive care, emergency, to management. Currently, Melody and I both work Cardiac Cath Lab and love it! Most people are surprised to learn we are in healthcare, let alone, traveling together in healthcare.
A little background, I gave my life to medicine at the age of 19, not long out of high school. Of course I dabble in other fields, like diesel mechanics, construction, and welding, taking a short sabbatical when needed, but I always come back to medicine with a fresh start. This coming year, I will graduate with my Masters Degree in Nursing Education and Family Nurse Practitioner.
Caring for others is a gift from my mom who was an RN for over 30 years and my uncle who worked as a paramedic. I also have two brothers and a sister in healthcare. It keeps us connected to our mother who set a inspirational example until she passed in 2013, exactly seven years ago today.
Melody and I are both in school, pursuing advanced degrees. She just applied to graduate school and is awaiting acceptance. We bounce ideas off one another and help each other through times thick and thin. She has been instrumental in the pursuits of my learning.
It’s crazy to realize it’s almost been a year since @stevenkissedmelody started @stevensmoked. I’ve always enjoyed cooking and barbecue and I take great pride in what I make, how I make it, and what ingredients I use. Melody saw this in me and we joked around about sharing the food I make to inspire others. Next thing you know, 💥 bam 💥 we have an Instagram!
It’s been quite the journey this year and I’m proud of how our spark of an idea has developed into something meaningful to us! The feedback you give and friendships we’ve made, lights us up! Thank you for all your support!
Be on the look out for an upcoming Instagram account focusing on men’s health and longevity. It’s something I’ve been developing over the past few months and I would like to share my ideas and passion with you.
Growing up, I learned that it’s good to have a back up plan. Do you have dreams? I encourage you to set goals and make efforts to achieve them each and every day.
Invest in yourself!
