About HN
Health conditions and medical terminology coupled with technology advances plus evolving treatments can be intimidating plus frustrating for many people. This can make managing your health even more complex not to mention confusing. However, readily available health care information in simple everyday language that is easily understood, can bridge the gap of ignorance and knowledge which leads to a longer, better, healthier lifestyle. Therein lies the motivation that brought about the creation of healthy-nurse.com, a straight forward, free health care education guide from a medical professional with years of experience.
Healthy-nurse.com was developed to help others by sharing my experience as a nurse and educator. Since childhood, my passion has always been helping others. I fulfilled my goal of becoming a Registered Nurse in 1997 and began working as a medical surgical nurse. I gained six years of experience on that unit before devoting myself exclusively to education. After receiving a Master of Science in Nursing, I was employed as a Nursing Instructor for 4 years. This was perfect preparation for my newest endeavor Healthy-nurse.com.
Why is healthy-nurse providing this information for free? Because knowing how to stay healthy is key to a long life and good health should cost you nothing!
Think back to your last visit to the doctor or hospital. Of all the health care providers, who was the one that spent the most time with you? More likely than not, it was your nurse. Nurses collect data, provide treatments, collaborate with other health care providers, act as patient advocates as well as educators of your diseases and conditions. Who better to get health care education and information relating to ailments that affect you?
The goal of this website is to serve as a source of health related information for consumers. You will find explanations of conditions, nursing interventions, and suggestions to help keep you healthy and make living with health problems easier. When you gain a better understanding of a health condition or find a solution that makes you feel better then Healthy-nurse.com has been successful.
