About Us:

My name is Brittney. I have been a Registered Nurse since 2007. Prior to receiving my degree I worked in Geriatrics at an assisted living home and since receiving my degree I have worked on a Neuro/Orthopedic floor and in the Operating Room. I love being a nurse and my goal is to eventually teach nursing. Allison and I are currently in the Bachelor degree program for nursing. I am a mom with a 2 year old, and have already seen how many health concerns come with raising children. That is why we decided to create this blog. Hopefully we can help answer some questions you all may have.

Disclaimer: this blog is for personal knowledge only and should never be used instead of seeing a licensed practitioner. If you have any concerns, you should seek the advice from your family doctor or pediatrician right away.

About Us:

Hi everyone!

My name is Allison and I am a Registered Nurse and currently working on further schooling. I have worked in the hospital for 1 1/2 years and have worked for a home health company for the past 4 years. Prior to becoming a nurse, I was a CNA (certified nurse assistant) for 5 years, so I have had quite a bit of experience taking care of sick people!

I am a mom of a two year old, work part to full time, go to school full time, and have a husband who is working two jobs right now. We are a busy family to say the least, but because we are running around so much, it has been easy for us to get down and sick...especially my two year old. I have struggled with the issue of trying to keep my two year old healthy because he is going to day care, church, and to family/friend's houses. The big question for most moms is, "When should I take my kid to the doctor?". Along with my good friend Brittney who is also a Registered Nurse, we will begin posting hopefully some helpful information for you (mom's and dad's), so that you will know the basic signs to watch for in illnesses and hopefully start to kick the sick before it worsens and you have to head to the doctor!

Thanks for following...talk to you soon.

Please feel free to ask any questions and we will get back to you.
