Marijke: Nurse Turned Writer

Health and medical news, sometimes serious and sometimes fun.
I've read that I shouldn't describe myself as a "nurse writer," but I can't figure out why - because that is what I am.

Short on time today

Sorry folks, I'm a bit short on time today - I have to run out for my second acupuncture appointment and I'm slammed with work - which is a very good thing when you're a freelance writer.

I'll try to add a more substantial post a little later on. In the meantime, here's the interesting news for today:

Folate deficiency associated with tripling of dementia risk
Organ Donor Shortage Remains Obstacle for Would-Be Transplant Patients Despite Better Medicine
No link between MMR jab and autism spectrum disorders
Older women more likely to become, remain depressed than older men
FDA Approves ASMANEX (R) TWISTHALER(R) (Mometasone Furoate Inhalation Powder) for the Once Daily Maintenance Treatment of Asthma in Children Ages 4-11
Severe stressful events early in pregnancy may be associated with schizophrenia among offspring
Worried about family or friends falling? New guideline identifies those most at risk
Smoking linked to sleep disturbances
Sugar water eases infants' immunization pain

Just the Right Dose! Now on sale.

Just the Right Dose! Now on sale.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Who am I?
I am TheNurseWriter.com. I'm a registered nurse and a health writer, which makes me a nurse writer. I received my nursing license in 1983 and have been writing and editing since the mid-90s. I have worked in many areas of nursing from rehab to ICU, with palliative care, pediatrics, and a lot in between.


My writing clients vary from consumer and professional magazines to websites. I have written about palliative care, women's health, sepsis, the misunderstood potato, quilting, powder room design, and more. The type of writing I enjoy most is to take complicated health and medical information and rewrite it so anyone can understand it. If I've done that, I am happy. You can also learn more about my books at Amazon.com.

If you aren't sure about how to say my name, don't worry - you're not the first to wonder. It’s a Dutch name. Phonetically, my name is said muh-rye´-kah/keh.
