UroNurse

The internet is buzzing with excitement as we prepare for the 1-year anniversary celebration of UroNurse.com, a revolutionary healthcare education platform. One year ago, we embarked on a journey to redefine urological care and empower healthcare workers by connecting them with compassionate urology experts and life-changing resources. We've never stopped innovating! Our user-friendly interface has made urological information accessible to all. My dedicated team of Laurie Atkinson, RN, CURN, Andrea Strong, DNP, John Lin, MD and myself  have been the backbone of this success. Celebrate with us July 29th at 9am CDT on UroNurse.com
