The Tired Nurse
The journey of The Tired Nurse began as a side hustle, a creative outlet amidst the demands of nursing and family life. However, life took a turn, and in December 2020, I lost my father after his courageous battle with renal failure and other illnesses. Then, in September 2021, faced with the overwhelming chaos of the "pandemic," I made the tough decision to leave nursing behind and take my decade-long side hustle to the next level, turning it into my full-time passion.
Crafting has been my solace since 2011, and it brings me immense joy to see how my hobby has blossomed into a successful career. As a nurse, I've witnessed the essence of healthcare getting lost, where individuals are often overlooked, and the focus shifts solely to healthcare dollars. I believe in putting the patient at the center, acknowledging their physical and mental well-being as interconnected components of true health.
My creations at The Tired Nurse are more than just products; they are reflections of my values and dedication to promoting mental and physical wellness. Many of my items are designed to address stress, anxiety, PTSD, MST depression, insomnia, and more. I believe that when we neglect one aspect of our health, the other is bound to suffer as well.
As you explore my shop, I hope you find something that resonates with you and brings a sense of comfort and healing. Each piece is crafted with love and care, with the intention to make a positive impact on your life or the life of someone you care for.
