Licensed Practical Nurse
I have been a nurse for 29 years but have worked for 23 years of that time in different fields of nursing with an emphasis in Kidney Dialysis. I worked in a Cardiac step down unit for 8 years monitoring post cardiac cath patients and heart attack patients. I also had a variety of medical surgical patients within that time. After I left the cardiac unit I went to outpatient dialysis and stayed there for 9 years. I then went to a home dialysis clinic where I went to the patients home to do dialysis. I did that for 6 years then my husband and children moved here to Gainesville,Georgia where I have been staying home. I am now ready to get back into the field.
