    There’s a certain point in August when summer hasn’t actually left, but apparently everyone has decided it’s over. You walk into a store for toothpaste and suddenly there are pumpkins. Pumpkins? We were just looking for sunscreen. And just like that, back-to-school season has arrived. Kids are heading back to classrooms, traffic has remembered how to be annoying again, and somewhere right now a parent is searching the house for a lunchbox that absolutely existed three months ago. For those of us working in healthcare, the change of season can be a little less obvious. Hospitals don’t exactly...

      For healthcare professionals, summer never really ends all at once. It just quietly slips away...one sports physical, one school bus, and one cup of cold coffee at a time.   Seriously...didn't we just get used to saying, "It's finally summer?" Now, all of a sudden, the stores have backpacks stacked to the ceiling, school buses are getting washed, and somewhere out there a parent has just realized their child needs supplies for a class they've never even heard of.

When the Shift Ends Have you ever seen something and thought, “I have absolutely no idea why I like this…” And then five minutes later you’re still thinking about it? That’s kind of the point. When we’re at work, everything has a purpose. We follow procedures. We solve problems. We make decisions. Most of our day is spent in a world where things are supposed to make sense.

They’re not trying to...

    You know summer is getting close when people at work start talking differently. Not dramatically. Nobody walks into the break room tossing beach balls around while wearing sunglasses. Nope, it’s smaller than that. It’s something softer. Someone mentions they sat outside after dinner… nice. Somebody else says they might plant tomatoes this year even though last year’s attempt died a tragic and crunchy death by July. There’s suddenly a lot of conversation about grilling things. Even people who normally communicate only through tired eye contact start saying things like, “We should get together sometime.” There’s something unexpectedly cheerful...

  Is it just me, or does April always feel like it’s trying to make a point? One minute it’s sunshine, the next it’s raining sideways, and somehow your scrubs are damp even though you swear you parked right by the entrance. It’s that in-between kind of month… not quite winter, not fully spring. A little unpredictable. Honestly, a little like our schedules. And maybe that’s why April feels oddly relatable. There’s something about those rainy mornings—when everything is a bit quieter, a bit slower—that nudges you to notice things you might normally rush past. The smell of wet pavement....
