About The author
David Carpenter, BSN, RN
David has spent more than two decades caring for patients in emergency medicine and acute‑care settings in both rural critical access hospitals in Wyoming and a large metropolitan hospital system in Las Vegas, Nevada. He currently serves as a travel nurse giving him opportunity to experience patient care roles in different parts of the country. Prior to this role he worked as an emergency room nurse and has worked on multiple medical/surgical inpatient units. David served in a hospital leadership role as a house supervisor overseeing multiple departments for 4 years. These multiple nursing roles have given David a diverse perspective of the healthcare system.
Throughout his career he has also worked as an emergency medical technician, volunteered on regional emergency‑planning committees and served on the Powell Medical Foundation Board of Directors. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Southern New Hampshire University, an Associate of Applied Science in Nursing from Northwest College and multiple advanced certifications including ACLS, PALS, NIH Stroke Scale and Non‑Violent Crisis Intervention.
Outside the hospital, he is passionate about translating medical research into accessible, compassionate guidance. David has had his own personal struggles with body weight and worked night shift for most of his healthcare career allowing him to have a greater understanding of the health trials that so many people face. He founded Health Content Works to share trustworthy advice on weight loss, holistic health and shift‑work wellness. Drawing on his hands‑on experience and commitment to patient education, David aims to empower readers to make informed choices about nutrition, sleep, fitness and self‑care.
David is passionate about helping people to recover from physical afflictions and finds joy and peace in helping others. When not working as a nurse or writing articles he can be found enjoying other activities that are just as diverse as the work he does in healthcare. David enjoys riding motorcycles, playing bass guitar and online gaming. He is also a hardcore foodie, an avid traveler, and enjoys being an active member of his church.
