About lynnwilfong

lynnwilfong specializes in MedSurg;Geriactrics;LTC.

I have been a nurse since 2001. Recently upgraded the initials and pay scale from LPN to RN. I have seen many changes in just this short time. The initial plan was to become a neonate or NICU nurse. That plan changed almost immediately after graduation. I discovered during clinical rotations that I loved working with adults. I have traded LTC for a small rural hospital because bedside care is where I choose to be. I like that my patients are not cases/diagnosis/numbers. They are real people with families, lives and concerns.

  4. What do you guys like to do in your free time?

    lynnwilfong replied to PianoTiles's topic in General Nursing

    Even as a student you have to balance and take some time for just you. In school I had what my family called "creekbank therapy". I found a quiet creek or spot on the river and fished. It recharges me and grounds me at the same time.
