Living in Ashtabula, OH
Where the Ashtabula River meets Lake Erie, post-shift life centers on Bridge Street in the Historic Harbor, watching the lift bridge rise over fresh walleye and craft beer. Commutes average just 15 minutes via Route 11, but pack snow tires: heavy lake-effect snow yields to breezy summers and sunsets at Walnut Beach Park.

Lean on the people who have been here longer than you, and never write off a good nursing assistant.
Three or four years went by before the overwhelmed feeling lifted, and close to six before I felt expert at the bedside. Measure this in years, not months.
