OOTD as a 32 year old CRNA dog mom

Follow me for anesthesia talk, my life as a CRNA, OOTDs, health & beauty, sourdough and my golden retriever, Shay Byrd! ✌🏼🩺🌻🫶🏼💉#crna #anesthesia #nurseanesthetist #nurse #nursesoflemon8

2025/3/23 Edited to

Being a 32-year-old Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) and a dog mom offers a unique perspective on balancing professional and personal life. In this article, we dive into fashion tips for OOTDs (Outfit of the Day) that embrace both practicality and style, perfect for on-the-go CRNAs and busy pet owners. As a CRNA, professional attire is crucial, but so is expressing individual style. Choosing outfits that are comfortable yet stylish can significantly impact confidence levels in a clinical environment. The key is to mix and match versatile pieces that transition easily from clinical duties to casual outings with your furry friend. Think breathable fabrics in classic colors combined with trending accessories. In addition to fashion, this lifestyle encompasses wellness tips, self-care routines, and the joys and challenges of being a dog parent. Engaging in community sharing among fellow CRNAs, exploring hobbies like sourdough baking, and emphasizing mental health are vital. Connecting with others who share similar experiences can foster a support network that enriches both personal and professional life. Whether you're looking for outfit inspiration, life hacks as a CRNA, or stories about your furry companions, you’ll find it all in the journey of being a stylish and dedicated healthcare professional.

My day as a receptionist!

As a receptionist my day isn’t super busy. It usually depends on if the sales people have customers. The more customers the dealership has the busier I’ll be which is nice because sometimes it can get boring pretty quickly. Since I’m not always busy I usually have time to even read a 400page book!
