Career Objective

I was out of nursing for a long time due to a serious arm injury, it took several years to recover from this and the doctors thought I never would so that is why I let my license expire. Then I was caring for my son full time for many years who has now passed away. Now I have 17+ years left of my career and I would like to find a nice place to settle down and finish it.
