Welcome to my journey. If you found this by mistake, my editors and I beg you to keep reading as each moment you spend on this page means more advertising revenue—just kidding. This blog will provide you a glimpse into what I feel, experience, share and discuss as I venture into nursing following 15 years in business and industry.

My hope is that the entries will carry you through a myriad of emotions and thoughts regarding nursing, healthcare, social, political and economic issues that occur as I earn my degree. Perhaps these entries spark enough interest to respond to my blog but, most of all I hope the entries entertain and get everyone to think about nurses and the important role we play in our healthcare system.

Please note if you do not have a referral you can only read 3 entries and additional access will require precertification from our medical director.
