Natalie Allen Introduction

Allen Family Christmas 2009

My name is Natalie Allen.  I have been married for 26 years to a wonderful man.  We have 5 children, 1 son-in-law and 2 grandchildren.  I have been a nurse for over 23 years and have returned to school in the distance DNP/FNP program at the University of Utah.  I am in my 3rd semester and am looking forward to this new blogging experience.  I currently work for the Early Intervention program "Up to Three" at Utah State University.  Our program has recently implemented a data entry system to track home visits and compliance requirements for the state.  It has been hard using the new program and I am always complaining about how it is not helpful.  I do believe that in the long run it will provide valuable information that will make us better at providing the services needed by children with disabilities and their famillies.
