• Registered Nurse since 1989. Nursing career was put on hold in 1995 when I had my first child. Now looking forward to returning to this noble profession.

• Friends would describe me as honest, friendly, and smiley. Involved in my church and enjoy aerobic workouts, reading, movies, traveling, and time with family and friends. I am excited about returning to the nursing field. Recent events in my life have given me a greater appreciation for the nursing profession; in 2004 my 4 year old daughter was diagnosed with leukemia. I now understand how the patients and families feel and what a beautiful blessing nurses can be in their lives.
