About Me

Hi:  My name is Janet Lorraine Shiffer.  I am a nurse practitioner, NP for short. An NP is a registered nurse with advanced education and training that enables that person to diagnose, treat and manage the care of patients with a myriad of illnesses. I am also surviving the aftermath of traumatic brain injury. Two car crashes within 2 years changed my life in immeasurable ways. This is a blog of my experience "from the other side of the stethoscope". For more than 30 years, I have been the healer, now I am on my own personal journey of healing. 

This blog came out of my experiences.  I have always loved to write. I found myself turning to writing as a way to cope with all that I was going through and continue to go through.  At first,  I could barely write a few lines and as I began to heal, single words gave way to sentences and then paragraphs. As part of my healing process, I decided to share this journey with the hope that what I share will in some way resonate with others. Perhaps, I can still heal others as I too continue to heal. 

Please feel free to send me your feedback.  I look forward to connecting with you.

Be Well...
