Kristi Van Winkle has 18 years experience as a BSN, RN and specializes in Pediatrics/Telemetry/Health and Wellness.

I have always enjoyed writing, and typos and grammatical errors pop out at me anywhere and everywhere. So when an injury forced me away from my bedside position, starting my medical writing and editing/proofreading business just made sense.
