Male Nurse
By Sean Dent
Hi. My name is Sean. I've been in healthcare for the past 15 years. I received a bachelor's degree in Exercise and Sport Science where I worked as a Certified Athletic Trainer (ATC). My diploma in nursing is my second career. I've had the pleasure of working in a variety of environments including telemetry, orthopedics, surgical services, oncology and time as a travel nurse. I'm also a CCRN certified critical care nurse where I've worked in cardiac, surgical as well as trauma intensive care nursing. I'm currently attending school finishing my BSN. I like to blog about any and everything under the sun, so stop by if you feel like listening to some arbitrary rhetoric mashed up with some interesting findings regarding world news, fitness, healthcare and everything nursing. more
