This woman's joy reading must be all medical and academic in clinical languages of Medicine. How do I get her to join my book club that is completely unrelated to medicine??

-Katrina, Scottsdale, AZ

Knowing Dianne created All Species Nurse, I know I found someone in my class who most certainly uses her skills--she should write her own book...she already edited mine-

Gastroenterologist, Colorado

I got to meet her at a conference! She's funny as Hell!! Great sense of humor!

-Totally anonymous.

Dianne evaluated my 12-year-old's IV site while she was covering another nurse's shift. She noticed a discharge oozing from under the tape. She removed the IV quickly, addressed the infection topically, and began another IV effortlessly in another arm to maintain his fluid intake. She was so quick! The next thing I knew, within minutes, she had a doc come in, reported my son's situation and he was placed on antibiotics immediately. 

I found out I could share my experiences in public with your compassion, Dianne, speed in solving a problem, knowledge- and genuine care! Wow- Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
