Description
My next job will be a two-way street where I learn a different angle of nursing while I share my nursing experiences/knowledge/and wisdom to help others--fellow staff as well as my patients/members/clients. In my loving my new patients I want to glean from their lives what they have learned while I'm helping them to learn to make the best out of what they have been handed in life to share with others.

Accomplishments
Highlights:
In nursing the one thing I am very proud of is while living with 50 years of DM, ESRD w/dialysis, and then double organ transplant, God allowed me to continue to work fulltime during these difficult times--now I have a second chance at life to give back what I've been given. A second thing I am very proud of are my two sons that I raised as a single mom (my husband died of brain cancer at age 32). They graduated from college with a four year degree and have married my two awesome daughter-in-laws. Through these times I have learned much about health and medicine to share with others that wasn't learned in school. Life is a gift from God--what we do with it is our gift back to God--one day at a time.....Companies I like:
