Twenty Five years of experience.in Long Term Care This has brought me the most joy in my life.
Enjoy being in contact with others in healthcare, I enjoy the interaction of making someone's day just a little bit happier and possibly get a smile from someone., it doesn't matter how long one has been away from the business they love, it is about getting back up and willing to learn what has changed, and still have enough love in my heart to want to learn what I may have missed while taking care of business at home. When one door closes another may open.
