Hey, I’m a nurse. I know a thing or two. But I like my license and would like to hang on to it for a while. I’m not offering medical advice in the entries I post here. I’d like to impart some of the wisdom I’ve acquired over the past 49 years…some I’ve learned in nursing, some I’ve learned in life and the two often intersect.
Do not construe that what I write here is intended as medical advice. I’ll try to educate and offer my persepctive about what I would do in a given situation, regarding an ethical dilemma, etc. (especially because I have a keen interest in ethics) but you should not direct your health care based on what you read here…you need to seek the advice and care of a qualified medical professional for that!
I will neither be a medical “Dear Abby” so please do not send in your most puzzling set of symptoms and expect to get the answer for it! I get paid decent money to do that for a living. Go put some nurse practioner’s child through college, instead, okay?
