Did something new yesterday!
I haven’t played kickball since high school, and honestly, I wasn’t even sure I could still kick a ball and run the bases 🦵🏃♀️
But I joined our nursing kickball team anyway — and guess what? We took 2nd place and I ran the bases twice! 🏆
Sometimes as nurses, we get so caught up in shifts, charting, and caring for everyone else that we forget to do things just for fun. Today was a reminder that we’re more than our scrubs. We’re teammates, friends, competitors, and people who still know how to laugh, run, and celebrate together.
Stepping outside your comfort zone doesn’t just build confidence — it builds connection. And connection is what keeps us strong, both on and off the unit.
Here’s to trying new things, supporting each other beyond the workplace, and remembering that joy is part of self-care too.
