Bio

Have been a nurse practitioner for over a decade. Have been a nurse over 30 years, so I know enough but def far from it all. . I am keeping the faith and staying positive. Will continue to work full time in a rural clinic helping those who may not have health care otherwise. Attitude and staying positive does help. We all could wallow in self pity but not helpful and actually worsens our outcome imho.
I am grateful for this forum as hearing what others are going thru gives me strength to continue on this journey of the unknown.
