#medtwitter #sundaymotivation After a weekend of studying, I needed to hit the reset button on why I do what I do. I am not in this field for a paycheck, or for the prestige. I’m not in it for the nod from the person behind me at the coffee shop when they read my sweatshirt. 1/

@StressHoop B👶🏻👶🏻M!

@michael_RNtoPA #BabyBOOM!

Haven’t been on here in a while but Ellie has some exciting news! Mrs. RNtoPA and I are adding another member of our squad 👶🏻

@CardiacPA1 Thank you! We’re so excited. I have all my best dad jokes ready, with some good additions from @jointdocShields and @StressHoop

@CardiacPA1 @ThePA_SMan @PASeekingcafien I did also. Knew it was one of two specialties and was lucky enough to make connections within both. That said, questions for the team you may become a part of are important. How have PAs been utilized in the past? Mentorship or orientation process? Call requirements? Etc

Can someone confirm that turning down my first job offer because my gut says it’s not the right job to take is the right choice 🙃😅

@sailordeac What a sweet face 🐶

@StressHoop She was getting scratches, but not e n o u g h scratches

TPDog is looking into your soul.

@StressHoop We’re fluent all right 😂

@michael_RNtoPA It’s like you speak fluent Labrador. In this case it was lap. I see you have lap.

Most grandma/reindeer collisions are entirely preventable. Please give wildlife plenty of space.

One of my favorite sounds at work is the clinic staff laughing together. Lately, it’s been frequent, and it makes me smile. We have a great team here

Nothing can prepare a New Yorker for the amount of friendly conversation Southern people want to have in an airport

@jointdocShields 😂😂that was a good one

@michael_RNtoPA My wife hates it when I mess with her red wine. I added some fruit and orange juice. Now she’s sangria than ever.

I’m trying to tell people about the benefits of eating dried grapes. It’s all about raisin awareness. #dadjoke @jointdocShields you’re up

@jointdocShields She gave me some dried fruit when we were out on the town. It was a date.

@michael_RNtoPA I can’t tell you why I like grapes, but I have my raisins

Since being away with the Army, I’ve made consistent new PRs in all my fitness goals. Improved my ACFT score by 50 points since June. Hard work pays off for sure. But it’s so much easier with the best teammates on the planet! 🇺🇸 🦅

@CardiacPA1 Yup! National Guard. Best job in the world. Thank you!

22 hours of travel but made it safely where I need to be. Already a great experience but I’m counting the days until I’m back home!
