Mary Raine and I met while working in the ICU as nurses in Nashville, TN in 2017. There have been many moves across the country and phases of life we’ve been through together over the last 6 years. We have always remained best friends regardless of the distance between us.

Cassie and I met in anesthesia school in 2020. We first became study partners, then pretty quickly moved on to best friends. Cassie and I share a bond that can only be described as sister-like. We are both CRNA’s, both share the same love for many things in life, and both always have each other’s back.

Alex and I met at Governor’s Scholar Program at Murray State in the summer of 2011. We became fast friends and bonded over our love, or maybe it was hatred, of being at GSP. We have been long-distance friends since day one. But that hasn’t kept us from remaining close over the last 12 years of friendship. We share the same home state of Kentucky, the same mindset and way we look at life, and the many miles burned up on the road between our visits.

Julia and I met in 2018 while working as nurses in Nashville, TN. We became instant friends. Not too long after that we became neighbors! Our friendship has consisted of many wine nights on her front porch, visits back and forth from Missouri and Tennessee, being each other’s confidant, & biggest fans.

Nicole and I were childhood best friends. We took dance classes together growing up and our parents were great friends as well. We reconnected after we both ended up living in St. Louis. Nicole is not only a great friend, she’s the best cheerleader in life!
