About vickywarren

vickywarren is a LPN and specializes in Retired LPN.


As an LPN I was having the time of my life as a nurse, working in a pediatric clinic and making plans to continue my education. However, my chronic illness that had been my almost constant companion since I was a teen decided that the traditional bedside role wasn't going to work for me. After being really mad for a while, I decided to figure out how I could stay in the health care field, from my home, sometimes in the comfort of my bed. I discovered blogging, freelance writing and social media management and haven't looked back!
