  • On The Road Ramblings: Being a Nurse Doesn't Change You, But it Should

    Being questioned, "What happened to sweet Jami" caused internal reflection. As I compare myself today to who I was 10 years ago I realized this family friend was right. I am so different and no longer seemingly timid and docile.  As I continued to reflect, I realize the change came as I grew in the world of nursing. Being a nurse doesn't change you, but it should.  If you are thinking about becoming a nurse, if you're currently a nurse, or a retired nurse tune in to see if you think these attributes are those that describe you.  Be sure to like and leave a comment on your favorite listening platform.  You can also find First Do No Harm on Instagram (First.Do.No.Harm.Podcast), Twitter (@1st_do_noharm), and Facebook page (First Do No Harm Podcast).  Feel free to drop an Email @ [email protected] and subscribe at www.hopeforhumankindness.com  And if you're not interested in being a patreon, you can certainly buy a coffee for my late night editing.

  • Because you have lived (Jami 2.0)

    A break was taken after I questioned about making a difference in the world. The last few weeks have been those of reflection and revelation. As Ralph Waldo stated, “To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.” Let’s be successful people together.

  • On The Road Ramblings: Radical or Humane?
    This episode is brought to you raw and unedited before my emotions are polluted by experiences of the day. 
    I always wanted to be seen in the best light and never wanted to make waves. After all Jesus said "Blessed are the peacemakers.." (Matthew 5:9) right?  As I look out at the world and the bold statements people are making that minimize others I also reflect to “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy.” -Proverbs 31:8-9
    I have begun to speak out to defend those who are suffering as our country minimizes their pain. By doing so, I was most recently called a radical, a leftist, socialist, for speaking out for human rights. This caused me to ponder, am I radical? Is it radical that we all deserve to same rights as our neighbor? Is it radical to believe in our scientists, that our planet is changing and we need to protect it? Is it radical that I believe the homeless man on 3rd street deserves healthcare and the opportunity to live as long as he desires? Is it radical that when I read the Bible that "God so loved the world..." he meant the world beyond the USA? Is it radical to believe that pro-life extends outside the womb? That we should value the lives of our Muslim neighbors, our gay neighbors, our black neighbors, our trans neighbors? Is it radical to believe that giving is better than greed, that kindness and compassion are better than contempt?
    When they call me radical, do they really mean humane?

  • Reflection of 9/11 During a Pandemic

    9/11/2001. My facebook feed was full of stories of how people reflected on what they were doing the moment they heard or watched the attack as the planes crashed into the towers. Our country was one full of fear, full of mourning for those that died beneath the rubble. We came together, united. 2,977 lives were lost that terrible day. We welcomed the changes that came to prevent another attack that could kill a  mass amount of people again. TSA was formed. We gladly jumped through the hoops, we rolled with the changes of the early times to get to the airports, the new guidelines that would be put in place. 

    9/11/2020 Our country is in the midst of a pandemic. Almost 200,000 lives have been lost so far. How are we handling the pain and devastation we are going through as a country 19 years later?

  • Through The Lens of Black Lives Matter: Police Brutality
    “Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy.
    Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice.
    Now is the time to open the doors of opportunity to all of God's children. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood.”
    ― Martin Luther King Jr., I Have a Dream: Writings and Speeches That Changed the World
    There's so much that we cannot understand until we take the time to understand why people feel the way they do. I invite you to sit with Nurse Q, as we talk about the emotional tribulation that he has experienced with the police brutality currently being publicized.  We start off with a fun quiz about current state of Black and White Americans before we dive into the injustice being witnessed.   ACLED Data of the peaceful protests:  https://acleddata.com/2020/09/03/demonstrations-political-violence-in-america-new-data-for-summer-2020/
