Introduce yourself to the group. Include your graduate area:
I am in my final semester of the DNP program and actually walked in the Spring convocation on May 6th. (YIPPY!) Right after graduating with my FNP, I worked in a wound care clinic for 2 years and about 60% of my patients had diabetes. That led to a position as a provider in an Endocrine and Diabetes Clinic where I have been for about 4 years and I am in love with my position! Our clinic is unique in that we provide a team approach to diabetes. Our team includes an endocrinologist, 2 midlevel providers, certified diabetic educators, registered dietitians, a social worker and links to many providers that may be necessary in providing care to patients that have diabetes, (eg: podiatrist, vascular specialists, cardiac specialists, renal specialists, etc). Our computer system has access to many evidence-based sites that I am becoming better aquainted with and I am continually amazed at how much information is available to help in the care of my patients.

Welcome Amy, your blog is looking good. What a great position, in such a comprehensive clinic to care for individuals with diabetes. There is quite a bit of evidence to support this model of care with improved outcomes.
