I was a registered nurse for twelve years and decided I wanted to get out of the hospital scene. However my passion continues to remain in caring for others that need help. I have cared for my mom, who is now deceased, for many years. I feel that helping a man, woman, or child in their home environment is extremely important. It gives them a sense of independence and wellbeing. I cared for a woman after I left nursing who had multiple sclerosis and cancer for two years and unfortunately she had to go into a nursing facility. As far as my personal achievements...in the past I was telemetry, ACLS, CPR certified. I would be willing to renew any of those if needed. I have always seemed to develop a great rapport with my patients and always worked well with my staff. As far as a personal achievement goes, I had a patient that had three strokes in succession. She would always call out my name. Finally she was discharged and years later I was at a new hospital doing orientation and she found me. She came from New York to see if she could find the people that cared for her. That was an amazing experience. Personal life--I have my husband and a stepson and a crazy cat. Just looking into getting back into helping others but in a different scene. Thank you for your consideration.
