Navigating Autoimmune Diseases: A Nurse's Personal and Professional Journey

Tags: autoimmune diseases disease health personal experience

This article highlights the importance of self-care for healthcare professionals, particularly nurses, and explores alternative career paths beyond bedside nursing. It is based on my personal journey with autoimmune diseases, including ankylosing spondylitis, Hashimoto's disease, and warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia. By sharing my story, I aim to educate on autoimmune diseases, encourage nurses to prioritize their health, and illustrate diverse nursing career opportunities.
