: About Me

I am a registered nurse with more than 15 years experience. I have always enjoyed writing, but have recently taken my passion for words and writing to a new level. Writing has turned out to be a great way to supplement my nursing income. I have written content articles for a medical supply company as well as writing blogs for numerous sites, such as www.brainbloggers.com, www.citizeneconomists.com and www.news.healthguru.com. I have also written small e-books on medical topics as diverse as acne and medical ethics. I have met some wonderful people, many of whom are repeat clients. I enjoy Helium as a way to polish writing skills, and also as a chance to peruse other styles of writing.
