Vacationing during a pandemic
I believe we can all agree that the last three months have been unbelievably hard, depressing, and regrettably unforgettable. Living in the epicenter of the pandemic while in the healthcare field, I have felt numbness, fright, and despair all at once. Now, I am onto the other side […]
