The Awkward Friendship Zone
By Shannon Carpani BSN, RN
There you are
The person whom
I care so deeply for.
I wish that I could
Gather the courage
To walk up to your door.
My Brother
by Shannon Carpani
In memory of my brother, Nolan Roberts, 12-22-83 to 05-30-19 who lost his nine-year battle with Hodgkin's lymphoma.
When I think of my brother,
I think leader and guide.
One welcoming of whomever
to walk alongside.
Nursing School
By Shannon Carpani
I set out on a journey that was my life’s dream.
I didn’t know how to handle it and thought I would scream.
I found good friends that helped me find my footings,
Yet was forced to leave them behind in Brookings.
I was thrown into a mess of drama and strife
Trying to overcome my fears and remain a good wife.
Why We Need Rest
By Shannon Carpani RN.
The day after a stretch of shifts,
I step out of my bed…
There isn’t much that doesn’t hurt;
My feet, my back, my head….
Working the Holiday
By Shannon Carpani, BSN RN
There was a time
When working a holiday
Was something to dread
And hardly worth the extra pay.
