Hey All!

Published

hi there... I just discovered this forum in a search for a place to ask questions about hospital/home health care issues in relation to myself. I'm not in the nursing/health care field, but am a 30-year-old male w/a spinal cord injury at the C-5 level. I guess I'm just really curious about RN/LPN/NA/CNA/HHA's views on things that relate to my condition and the experiences I've had because of it. Since I haven't been able to find any good forums that I think would be good for this, here I am... lol... I hope this is o.k. and acceptable to all of you. Also, if there are ANY health care providers here with experience with SCI clients/patients, please P.M. me. This forum looks to be an awesome resource!

Do you have specific questions?

That would help get responses, I think.

Welcome to allnurses

Like the other poster said, specific questions would probably generate the most answers....
