Certifications and Licenses
Respiratory Care Practitioner
I have been a Health care provider for 43 years and while I loved working with the patients, their families and my co-workers, I felt driven to move forward to the next chapter of my life. Hence, I started a small Ebay business which brings in a few pennies each month and it's also something I enjoy doing. Not too many people can say thst about their choice of employment. Wouldn't you agree?
I did write some small articles, online, which were mostly healhcare-related. I did have several of my pieces selected and published and was paid a nominal fee for each contribution. I absolutely loved writing but life got in the way, as it tends to do, and it's been several years since I've attempted to journal.
As of 2020, I'm back to working as Respiratory Therapist and am state licensed in Wisconsin, Virginia and Colorado.
