I always wanted to give back to kids who are scared or even traumatized in the healthcare setting. I finally got the chance to work as a nurse for 18 years and 3 years in pediatrics before I became disabled. I really want to work again and give my support to kids because back in the 70’s mental health for chronically ill children wasn’t really available. I hope I can find a place to use my nursing skills and experience as a patient, to help kids get through illness and trauma. I just don’t know where to start. Thank you for this website and I’m so glad I found you! Lisa RNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13357740295171855441noreply@blogger.com
