Summary

I always wanted to be a nurse. Couldn’t quite get there, financially. I found being an assistant nurse very rewarding. I loved the skills I was taught at

my first nursing home job.

It wasn’t just a job to me. I loved it.

And from there, I went on to excel at

Community Nursing.

I’m looking forward to helping people again.
