I am doing a lot of corporate writing, so I’m very happy to keep my finger in the freelance writing world. I just had an article and photographs published in the CLPNA’s CARE magazine, called Transforming Care (page 9). This piece is about an initiative that is expanding the role of the LPNs at the Medicine [...]

it’s easy being green
Posted in freelance writing on December 19, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
On pages 14-16 of the new CARE magazine, you’ll find my article ‘It’s Easy Being Green’. Yes, that’s a reference to the Kermit the Frog song. I didn’t take the photos this time, but I did learn a lot about environmentalism – from two historically un-green industries: printing and event planning. Kudos to Ion Print [...]

So sometimes I write and I don’t get paid for it. But that’s ok, because I do that for organizations I volunteer for. Like the Canadian Family Advisory Network (CFAN). Of which I happen to be chair. I wrote a piece for London Health Science Centre in Ontario about a family who frequents their Cystic [...]

I wrote an article called Hushed Drama – life in the OR, about LPNs in the Operating Room, for the CLPNA’s Care magazine in the spring. It was just published, and I’m really happy with it. It was a collaborative effort with five different interviews and an extensive photo shoot. My favourite kind of work [...]

One was the feature on LPNs in pre-hospital practice called (cleverly) Care in the Air, where I learned about the exciting world of emergency care. The other piece is one of my favourite articles I [...]

Last week, I interviewed a woman who is turning 102 years old next month. This is for an article in the College of Licensed Practical Nurses of Alberta’s Care Magazine. I’ll post the link when it is published in March. I was thinking how fortunate I am to have a job where I get to [...]
post-washington trip

I went to Washington DC last week for three days to canvass for the Obama campaign. I went down because I believed in Obama’s message. I hooked up with dual-citizen friends and we worked in Northern Virginia. We went to Obama’s last campaign rally in Manassas Virginia. And we celebrated hard at 11 pm EST [...]

The College of Licensed Practical Nurses of Alberta has released the fall version of their Care magazine. In it is a feature on Dave Dearden entitled: Changing Gears – from trucks to scrubs. (Scroll down to page 18). I did both the words and the photos for this piece, and I immensely enjoyed the entire [...]
