Why do you have a blog when you are on social media?  Social media has become more difficult to manage due to interwoven advertisements. Content gets lost in the crowd, so to speak.  Having a blog cuts out distractions and has the content easily accessible.

Why do you travel so much? Traveling is something my husband and I enjoy doing in our free time.  We both get cabin-fever if stuck in one place for too long. I don't foresee the travels stopping any time soon. You only get one go around in life, might as well make it enjoyable

Why aren't there blog entries on your day-to-day work life? HIPAA, that's why. Living in small town USA, it would be difficult to share stories, even without patient identifiers. Someone somewhere would know who I was talking about. And yes, I do have some stories to tell, but, can't.

Why are you in school again? Aren't you satisfied? There's nothing wrong with staying an RN without the extra credentials at the end of your name. However, I want more, always. My current goal is to obtain a BSN then get credentialed in Nursing Informatics. Due to my health issues, I can't possible work "on the floor" my entire career. 

Do you have a donations site if we wish to donate to future trips? Do you have educational debts? I have PayPal (PayPal.Me/LeliaRN78 or strawbury78rn@yahoo.com). Yes, I have educational debts that currently hover around $52,000. School isn't cheap and I have maxed out my financial aid borrowing. From this point on, I am paying out of pocket. I am not asking for donations, but will accept any and all.

Do you have advice for up and coming nurses? Nursing is a difficult profession. You must be able to deal with people during the good and the bad, but, mostly bad. It's a calling, really. Go for it, but keep in mind you are responsible for keeping people alive.
