About Me
Hello. My name is Anna, and I work as a visiting nurse. I take care of people who need care in their homes. Sometimes it is temporary, and sometimes my patients are permanently home bound. I have discovered that patients can avoid a great deal of stress, and often save money, by having medical supplies delivered. This avoids having to rely on someone else to get what is needed, and it also helps the patient keep track of supplies. When patients have a regular order, they can be assured of not running out. Having supplies delivered makes a lot of sense, and I can tell you how to do it.
