About Priscilla

Hello my name is Priscilla. I have many years experience working in various disciplines, with a strong concentration on senior and physiological. Helping people is my passion. Working with my grandmother for a number of years has been some of my proudest moments. I was very fortunate to be able to care for her until the very end. That is one of the many reasons I chose nursing.
