In joining the VERIFYHEALTHCARE campaign, I’d like to introduce myself. My name is Karen but my friends call me “Kare”. Today there are several accounts and personalities aimed at providing health information. Social media has now become a platform for health tips and resources, which is amazing news, because as we know technology has the capability of reaching masses of people. In my opinion, health information should be accessible to all.
As a latinx who comes from a very humble background and is now on my way to becoming a healthcare provider, I have decided to use my voice as a way to help advocate and reach my community which is the purpose of this blog. My promise to you is that I will aim at always being as transparent as possible because authenticity is my life motto. Therefore, I’d like to share my credentials to provide assurance to my readers and followers that you will be receiving legit health information when you visit my site.
Here are my credentials: I am a medical assistant turned registered nurse (RN). I have been working as a critical care RN since 2014 and I have experience in multiple fields including: ICU, trauma, medical, transplant, neurosurgery, cardiac-thoracic, PACU, flight, and travel nursing. I did my nursing residency at a level one trauma hospital, The George Washington University hospital in my hometown of Washington D.C. I am currently in the process of obtaining my Acute Care Nurse Practitioner degree at the University of Miami. I will be completing the majority of my residency including but not limited to: Jackson Memorial Hospital, University of Miami Hospital, and or Baptist Hospital.
Along with lifestyle tips I post about content for nurses, health awareness campaigns, and information that advocates for human rights. Thank you for visiting my site! Follow me on my journey to becoming a healthcare provider. Please feel free to leave a comment below.
