A Nurse Writer

Hi there, and welcome! My name is Kristin, and I am the nurse writer for this blog. I have been in nursing for almost 20 years and worked in healthcare before I became a nurse as well. I also grew up surrounded by medical professionals since I lived in a small town and my mom was a nurse at the local hospital.

Though I have had the privilege of various healthcare field experiences in my life and career, from clinics to ambulances to procedure and ICU rooms, I don't come here as an expert, but as a life-long learner. Healthcare in the United States is a vast and complicated monster of an industry, and expensive. I'll make no bones about that. And, just like everyone else, I and other healthcare professionals deal with illnesses and injuries, and the same for our loved ones. So, hopefully, I can share a little of what I've learned over the years and continue to learn, and make navigating the medical world a little easier, and maybe a little less expensive in the process.
