As a critical care nurse and a catastrophic care nurse case manager, I thought I knew the healthcare system, but then I became a patient and saw it from a completely different perspective.
After surviving brain cancer, I pivoted my practice to patient advocacy to help people (patients and caregivers) find the information and tools they could use to be their own best advocate. Like you, I found it eye-opening to be on the other side.
Nice site and a good way for us all to communicate. My name is Anne Llewellyn. I am a nurse advocate from the State of Florida. I have been in healthcare throughout my nursing career. I have been a catastrophic nurse in the ED and Respiratory ICU, moved into Risk Management, and then into Case Management. After surviving a Brain Tumor, I turned to Patient/Health Advocacy as I realized, after my own experience, how hard it is for people/patients and caregivers to navigate the complex healthcare system.
Today, I mentor those who want to enter the field while still carrying a small caseload as I move into retirement. I will visit here often and look forward to interacting with YOU!
Congrats to all at GNA for their work in bringing us together!
