Why this Blog? This name?

This blog is an assignment in a course called, "The Internet and the Future of Patient Care." It's also something that has been on my to-do list for many months. Besides working as a clinical oncology nurse, I facilitate writing groups for patients, staff and caregivers affected by serious illness. I see story as an important part of my nursing work. Through writing, participants get to freely pen their experiences and be heard and through this process, they sometimes see something different for themselves or know that they're not alone.
