Welcome to Beyond My Scope! I’m so happy you are here and have located my page. My name is Keisha, and I am a proud registered nurse with a deep passion for caring for others — especially during their most vulnerable moments. Nursing is more than just my profession; it’s a calling that fills my heart with purpose and joy. But as much as I love being a nurse, I’ve come to realize that I am more than just the letters after my name. This is where “Beyond My Scope” was born.
In the world of healthcare, you may hear the phrase “scope of practice” — the framework that defines the boundaries and limitations of what a nurse or other licensed healthcare professionals can and cannot do. It’s a necessary and essential part of maintaining safety and quality for our patients’. I have grown to learn and realize that outside of our clinical duties, we are so much more than what is defined by our credentials. For me, “Beyond My Scope” is a reflection of life beyond nursing’s professional limits. It’s about embracing every facet of life and defining who we are while nurturing our passions and finding joy both within and outside our careers.
I will admit, Nursing is a major part of my identity and my life. Nursing has allotted me the ability to care and provide for my family, travel around the country and it has given me something to be passionate about. It has also taught me that I’m passionate about helping others discover the beauty of this profession. From the quiet nerve-racking moments of holding a patient’s hand before surgery to the exhilarating triumphs of saving lives in the intensive care unit, nursing has taught me resilience, compassion, empathy and gratitude. But life isn’t just about the scrubs we wear, the stethoscope we use or the shifts we clock. It’s about finding balance in life, cherishing what makes us feel truly alive, and creating space for the things that bring us happiness and joy.
For me, that means indulging in my love of self care, enjoying meaningful moments with my loved ones, and seeking adventures that inspire me to grow. Beyond My Scope is a place where I can share those joys with you. Whether it’s tips for finding fulfillment in your nursing journey, self-care routines that nurture your mind and body, or stories about making the most of life’s precious moments, this blog is here to inspire and uplift.
I want this space to be a reminder that we are more than just our jobs. We are dynamic, multi-faceted individuals with passions, dreams, and a unique ability to find beauty in life’s everyday moments. Through Beyond My Scope, I hope to connect with others who want to live fully, love deeply, and laugh often.
So, whether you’re a fellow nurse or an aspiring nurse, a travel lover, or someone simply looking for a little inspiration, welcome to OUR journey. Together, let’s explore what it means to live beyond the scope of our titles and embrace all the wonderful things that make us who we are.
Thank you for stopping by — I can’t wait to share this adventure with you!
