When writing my post reviewing 2014 month by month I realised a lot of it was filled with unfulfilled goals. Hopes and aspirations I had made this time last year in 2013 but were unable to achieve this year. The glass half empty side of me sees this as a year where once again I… Continue reading What will 2015 hold??

Guest blog from Jo a fellow Nurse and asthmatic
I want to thank Jo for agreeing to do a guest blog.

Jo also has… Continue reading Guest blog from Jo a fellow Nurse and asthmatic
Review of 2014
It has been quite a year this year. So much has happened!!! January- I started working in the Community Dialysis Team and it has been fantastic. It has not gone quite as planned.

Taking action- when, what and why??
When illness strikes it is never at a time that suits you. It can't be scheduled into your diary when you have a few days off. In fact quite the opposite- things normally happen when you have loads of stuff on and events you are looking forward to!! This is what is happening right now!!… Continue reading Taking action- when, what and why??
