"Don't confuse having a career with having a life."

I have worked in a Level 1 Trauma Boston Hospital as a nurse in Cardiac Medicine, CCU, ICU Float Pool (MICU, SICU/Burn/Trauma, Thoracics, Cardiac Surg, CCU, Neuro/Neurosurg, PACU, and ED), and a STAT/Resource Nurse.  I left the bedside in 2020 to spend more time with my young family and am now a high school nurse for 1200 students.  I am enjoying running my own "walk-in clinic."

My goal on this site is to network and stay informed on what new nurses are interested in talking about.  I am beginning a nurse writing career and my passion lies in nursing education.
