Skills
Most of my skills are with in-patient obstetrics; however, I also have worked with Alere home health where patient education was primary. I am very familiar with Microsoft office and quickly adapt to most computer software. Peers say I have a gift for teaching, whether it be peers or clients. My peers also say I have a unique ability to keep calm and calm others in tense situations. I feel I am empathetic, especially with those experiencing pain, loss, mental health issues or diabetes. Experience
SPRING 2015-PRESENT
I retired due to medical reasons related to diabetes, however I’m ready to return to work.Unfortunately, I will have to have a position where I primarily sit or preferably at a position where I work from home.
