You can always see me here in substack land of course, but also…
KENTUCKY!
On February 10, I'm performing at the Kentucky State Student Nurses Association Conference. These students have been so ambitious with what they've put together; there's something for everyone, from pre-nursing students to folks who have had an RN after their name for decades. I'll be exhibiting at a table during the day and then performing to close out the conference around 5 pm or so. I'm making a special commemorative coloring sheet just for the occasion, and I'll even have colored pencils and Sharpies out, so stop by for a mini stress-relief break!Â
PENN'S VIRTUAL NURSING SLAM!
I'm very, very, very, very, very, very excited to be opening up the Penn Nursing Story Slam on February 22. I was so excited that I typed each of those verys out. The Nursing Story Slam brings together nurse storytellers to share their true, personal stories that explore the breadth, depth, and diversity of nursing. The series is curated by Marion Leary, who is one of nursing’s modern-day treasures and once won Philadelphia's Nerd of the Year. So nurses. Nerds. Yeah, don't miss it.Â
Go on and register; it's VIRTUAL and FREE.Â
SECOND HELPING IN NEW YORK CITY (AND ONE VIRTUAL SHOW)Â
Second Helping is coming to Caveat in New York City for three shows only March 25, April 22 and May 18th. Yup, we're taping the special for distribution (shhh, don't tell, more on that later), so come be a part of history. Or at least my history, anyway. And get this: my sister Beth Toner is opening for me, sharing a piece called Disaster Girl, and she's a nurse too. So that's two nurses for the price of one, y'all.Â
The tickets are cheaper if you get them earlier, and please note that the May show is in the afternoon on the weekend! That's for you, Department of Education involved folks!Â
Also, the May show WILL BE VIRTUAL and thus accessible worldwide! Why am I saying that exactly? I’m pretty sure you know what virtual means by now.
Tickets for all three shows here.
HIRAM COLLEGE-OHIOÂ
On March 28, I'll be performing Second Helping at Hiram College (one of my favorite colleges to perform at!) near Cleveland. I'd love to add on some other shows/presentations/workshops. Tell me about your Ohio folks at colleges/hospitals/community centers/theaters, or tell them about me!Â
In fact, you can share this post and just ask folks now. You probably know folks in Ohio, right? If you want to. No pressure. But it is a cute button, right?
THInC: THE HEALTHCARE INNOVATION CONFERENCE-BOSTON
On June 7, I'll be the opening keynote for SONSIEL's (Society of Nurse Scientists Innovators Entrepreneurs & Leaders) conference on healthcare innovation. I''m looking forward to this whole conference; it's going to be a fascinating and inspirational weekend. I could still add a Boston show on Saturday night June 8–do you know a pride event that would like to host?Â
