Frequently Asked Questions
-
I'm a registered nurse working in public health, and I write about health technology from the perspective of the people who use it at the bedside. My background is in home health and community care, and I'm currently pursuing a DNP/MBA in health systems leadership.
-
Yes. I'm a licensed RN and still practicing. My clinical work is what informs everything on this site.
-
Sometimes companies give me free access, and I always say so at the top of the post. Payment never buys a positive review.
