About A Nurses Approach
Preparing for an orthopedic doctor visit can feel overwhelming. Most people don’t know what questions to ask, and by the time they leave the appointment, they realize they forgot something important. A Nurse’s Approach was created to change that. These tools were crafted by nurses to give you orthopedic surgery questions a nurse could ask for herself, or on behalf of someone she loves.
Angela is the founder of A Nurse’s Approach. She is a master’s prepared registered nurse with over 25 years of clinical experience. Her career spans decades of dedicated nursing in roles that include caring for post-surgical orthopedic patients and providing critical care for trauma cases in intensive care units. She also served as an Orthopedic Program Coordinator for hospital hip, knee, and spine certification programs. She ensured the facility met the rigorous standards set by the Joint Commission, a leading authority in healthcare quality.
Her role also involved maintaining compliance with clinical practice guidelines, identifying areas for improvement, and supporting excellence in patient care.
That experience led to the creation of our downloadable PDF guides. Each one is designed for a specific moment in your orthopedic journey. Seeing an orthopedic doctor for the first time? There’s a guide for that. Considering knee, hip, back, or neck surgery? There’s a guide for that too. Facing revision surgery after a procedure didn’t adequately resolve your problem? We have you covered. Each guide reflects what a knowledgeable nurse would want to know before walking into that appointment.
Angela’s vision for A Nurse’s Approach was born from her years of guiding and holding the hands of her patients. Time and again, she saw patients struggle to ask or remember vital questions during their time with the physician, often leaving with lingering doubts or forgotten concerns. While she advocated for her patients reactively, helping them get the answers they needed, Angela realized the power of being proactive.
That realization became the foundation of A Nurse’s Approach. Through tailored resources and nurse guided tools, Angela helps patients articulate their concerns, ask the right questions, and clarify their surgical plans. Her goal is simple: to ensure you feel informed, empowered, and ready to move forward with confidence.
We welcome you to A Nurse’s Approach, a place where your needs come first, your voice is heard, and preparation paves the way to better care.
