I'm a licensed practical nurse from the Detroit suburbs — I run assessments on the ED night shift and walk health screenings into neighborhoods and green spaces on my off days. This site is my field journal: the sixty-second breath-check, the triage cadence, and the community work I think is the real frontline.
What I practice
Clinical Protocols & the Breath-Check
The acute-care backbone — how I run a fast, reliable respiratory assessment on a tired shift.
READ THE PROTOCOL
Community Health Assessment
Bringing the discipline of the ED to the neighborhood — rapport, structure, and the checklists that keep it honest.
