About compassionresearcher

compassionresearcher has 20 years experience and specializes in Pediatrics, Women's Health, Education.


My specialties have included pediatrics, women's health, education, diabetes self-management, research, and writing. I am passionate about creating a healthy work environment for all, but specifically for nurses. People spend more time at work than they do with their families, we need to keep them safe and happy. I'm a plant eater and animal lover. I enjoy travel, arts, theater, and humor.
