Since grammar school, Karen has written poetry and journals for self-expression. She has served as editor for numerous newsletter publications in the various organizations she has belonged to throughout the years. Karen had two short stories published in, Touched by a Nurse, by Jim Kane MN, RN, CNS, CNAA and Carmen Germaine Warner, MSN, RN, FAAN.
