Herpes, Jesus and Shark Attacks: Facing Fear
Author: Tripp
My name is Tripp. I am the father of two amazing children, who live with their amazing mother and her esteemed husband about nine hours north of me. I am a musician, and have self-released three albums over the last seventeen years. I am a registered nurse who specializes in trauma and intravenous access. My co-workers are a diverse and wonderful group. My job affords me the distinct and welcomed privilege of accompanying my fellow human beings through some of the most trying times of their lives. I have personally experienced a miraculous shift from a loathing and questioning of life to a passionate love and adoration of it, and I am committed to causing that shift within the lives of those around me. Cheers.

The Vagabond RN, Entry 1: First Impressions
Recently I went out on a limb and accepted my first mobile nursing assignment. It’s something I’ve considered doing for a while. I loved my first assignment so much I said yes again when the second assignment came. And again on the third. And the fourth. It looks like regular travel is around the corner. [...]
Breaking Up: For The Love Of Self
I will tell you the story of how I came upon the inward journey known as the love of self. Easy, pervs. I'm talking the love of the astonishing divine within all of us. Incidentally, this philosophy led me to discover that my ability to get over a breakup is very closely related to how [...]
