C. Trip, BSN, RN, is a registered nurse whose career spans acute care, home care, care coordination, rehabilitation, and hospice. Her work has taken her from the hospital floor into patients’ homes and care facilities, where she has seen firsthand how much of nursing is learned on the job rather than in the classroom. She writes practical, plain-spoken guides for nursing students, new graduates, working nurses, and home health aides, covering everything from clinical confidence and documentation to the realities of choosing a specialty. Alongside her clinical titles, she creates lighthearted coloring and activity books that celebrate the humor and camaraderie of life in healthcare.
