7 Questions You Must Ask When Hospitalized: From A Nurse Who's Been There & Done That (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780692714652)

Debra Lee James was born into a military family, and from the beginning has generally danced to the rhythm of her own beat. From challenging and confronting bullies at age four to obtaining two bachelors degrees despite her Freshman year chemistry professor's edict that she was better suited for an associates degree and hopefully find a husband in the process. Whenever someone said "you can't", she made them end up saying, "how did YOU do THAT?" She earned her first bachelor's degree (BA Sociology, Cum Laude) from Howard University in 1984 where she also received an Air Force commission as a 2nd Lieutenant. She jokes that her mantra is: Navy, by birth. Army, by marriage. Air Force, by choice! She earned her nursing degree (BS Nursing) from The Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing in 2003. She joined the American Holistic Nurses Association in 2004 and passed the certification exam for Holistic Nursing in 2010. Debra has practiced nursing from a holistic perspective for over 10 years at the bedside primarily caring for cardiac/telemetry/med-surg patients. She has also cared for hospice patients, patients in physical rehab, and patients in long-term care facilities. Debra is the proud owner of a nurse consulting business, Angelic Touch Health & Wellness, LLC.
