My name is Christine Whitmarsh and I\u2019m pleased to be the newest addition to the Travel Nurse Source team as a blogger here on the site. Here is a little about me so you can associate a name with a person. I earned my Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing from the University of Rhode Island. I think I was the only nursing major who was also a music minor. In light of the steadily advancing practice of complementary medicine so crucial to many nursing interventions, I suppose that could count as training for music therapy.<\/p>\n<p>After graduating, I worked primarily as an orthopedic\/neurological nurse while also volunteering as an EMT as I had done during nursing school. From there, I transitioned from clinical practice to a career as a freelance medical writer and journalist. For me, a career as a professional healthcare writer combines my foundation of healthcare knowledge and passion for writing and in many cases educating the public.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s exciting to be here on the site connecting with all of you and discussing current developments in nursing, the many benefits and facets working as a travel nurse, and other pertinent healthcare topics. With the recent shift of power in Washington, combined with so many unanswered questions about the future of healthcare, the one constant I have seen is the dedication of nurses to their patients and their profession. This is a remarkable time for healthcare and the future of nursing in America and I am happy to be a part of the dialogue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello fellow nurses!
