stock crash


Dead Horse?
Shock it back to life. 


Everyone bailed. 
How could a healthcare company 
NOT make money in a pandemic? 


We made headlines yesterday. 




Corporate put together a 
Lovely, inclusive video


5 years. 
They bought PSA. 
They bought EPIC. 
They tried to buy Maxim. 
They’re everyone’s darling. 
Some 50,000 nurses. 


Well? 
Right now, being a Nurse
In a Global Pandemic 
is like being on a low fat diet. 
Crappy food choices and shitty blood work. 
And you’re ready to live off the 
“Fat Of The Land”!

I am done metaphorically
-I would never be low fat- 
with a so-called life filled with 
low-fat cheese products, 
rice cakes,
steamed chicken breast,
Steamed broccoli, 
So-called heart healthy grains, 
Cheerios with skim milk and
 I Cant Believe It’s Not Butter.  


If I can do THIS
And have the discipline 
To stay with it…


And if I can read THIS…
At a glance and know what it going on…


Then I can certainly learn how to read THIS! 
I’m teaching myself stocks, trading,
Options, BitCoin, and Investing. 
Let’s just see where it goes?

I taught myself wound care,
Home Health, Pediatrics, 
And Hospice. 

There’s a lot of talk about 
Nurses Being Heroes. 
But lots of talk. Not much else. 
I asked for a raise - a quarter-
And was told they couldn’t afford it. 
So I make all the overtime I can. 

The Nursing Shortage 
Is squeezing the life
Out of Nursing. Again. 
The first mass exodus I went through 
Was during the AIDS Pandemic. 
People were scared shitless. 
I wasn’t. I embraced it. 
That’s in 1990 - when I first started. 

This time… something is different. 
I’m older. Maybe wiser? 


I’m certainly NOT a math whiz. 
You don’t have to be for nursing. 
And you don’t have to be for investing. 

What if this could be more than a hobby? 
More than an IRA? 
(With 2% matching funds!) 
(Which I just got this year, by the way!)
Hmmmm… it would be great! 
It could even be done on vacation. 
Or even a super long vacation! 
Or a semi-permanent vacation. 



Something to think about! 
When you get mad enough, 
It might be time for a change.
