About

Hi, I’m Amanda 👋🏼

I’m a new graduate nurse, a mother of two, and a woman in her mid-thirties navigating life, family, and a bold leap into a second career in healthcare. After years of dreaming and plenty of detours, I finally stepped into nursing—a calling that has always been in my heart.

This blog is a space where I share my journey: the real, the raw, the rewarding. From clinical wins to moments of doubt, I write to reflect, connect, and grow—and hopefully help others do the same. Whether you’re a fellow new grad, a busy mom thinking about a career shift, or someone just trying to make it through the shift with compassion intact, you’re welcome here.

Here you’ll find stories from the bedside, reflections on balancing motherhood and nursing, and lessons I’m learning along the way. My hope is that this space reminds you that you’re not alone—and that there’s beauty in starting over, even when it’s messy.

Let’s grow together.
