Nursing School Material
As a critical care nurse with two years of hands-on ICU experience—and a Bachelor's in Science in Biology—I combine clinical expertise with strong communication skills to create accurate, engaging medical and educational content.
Whether you’re looking for patient-friendly educational materials or in-depth healthcare articles, I write content that builds trust and delivers value.
Below are several samples of articles that I have written for the American Red Cross, as well as an excerpt from my Nursing School Survival Guide.

Nursing School Survival Guide: A simplified approach to organizing your life and thriving in nursing school. Link to website and book HERE Sample from the chapter, You & The Pendulum: Let's talk about what I call the Pendulum Principle and how it relates to achieving balance in life. This is something that I have put into practice in my own life, and it has helped me to stay grounded. The pendulum serves as a representation of your current position in the space of your life. The goal is to find a balance near the center and minimize extreme swings to the left and right. When the pendulum swings to the left, let’s say it signifies a state of chaos. This happens when we neglect self-care, such as not getting enough sleep, indulging in unhealthy habits, or prioritizing short-term enjoyment over our long-term goals. This imbalance can negatively impact our academic performance and hinder our ability to implement effective study strategies. On the other hand, when the pendulum swings to the right, we can say it represents excessive order. We create rigid schedules that lack room for relaxation, recreation, and social or physical connection. Adhering too strictly to our academic commitments can isolate us from the things and people we enjoy. It's important to recognize that maintaining the exact same schedule every semester or week is impossible. Life throws unexpected challenges our way, such as drama, illness, or unforeseen events, which can disrupt even the most well-planned routines. No matter what our goals are, it's not worth sacrificing all the things that bring us joy.
“Miracle Max” Blood Donors Help Upstate Child With Rare Form of Anemia Link to ARC Article HERE Upon further blood and genetic testing, it was discovered that Max had a very rare type of anemia called Diamond-Blackfan Anemia. Only about 1 in 500,000 live births are diagnosed with this particular disease. Generally, anemia is a condition defined by a shortage of red blood cells or a lack of hemoglobin in the blood. This can lead to symptoms like fatigue, weakness, and shortness of breath. Baby Max’s particular genetic variation meant that he would be dependent on consistent blood transfusions in order to live. D’Laci says Max needs about one blood transfusion per month to sustain normal growth. After receiving a transfusion, and as each month progresses, D’Laci notices that Max becomes increasingly lethargic, lacking the desire to eat, and becomes irritable. The family has tried special trial treatments that did not yield the results they hoped for. The next step, in addition to maintaining frequent blood transfusions, was to investigate the option of a bone marrow transplant for Max. As luck would have it, his 5-year-old sister Ruby was a match. She was also very eager to help her brother.
Jumping Into Action: Mount Pleasant Teacher Saves Choking Student’s Life Link to ARC Article HERE Jumping into action, Ms. Williams knew she had to try again. Immediately. “We got to the hallway… and I did about three or four more thrusts, and the blue Jolly Rancher flew out of his mouth.” Mason knelt to the floor, recovering, but shaken. Ms. Williams sat down and comforted him. At this point, the school nurse met them in the hallway and brought Mason to her office to make sure he was ok. The nurse then made the phone call to his parents Brian and Mariesa Eikevik. Ms. Williams received lifeguard and athletic training years ago at Wando High School. Her advice to others who may be in a similar situation is; “Trust your instincts. If you know it, do it. Don’t hesitate. Jump into action.” She also credits her fellow teachers for comforting Mason and consoling her shortly after the choking incident. The teachers spoke with their students and reinforced the importance of Mason’s actions to let his teacher know that something was wrong. Ms. Williams believes it is simply a part of her job description to keep her students safe. “I love my students. I tell them every day, “I will do anything in my power to protect you all. No matter what the situation is.”
