I'm a busy nurse as well as a mom of 5 kids, 10 and under. Raised in oahu hawaii

I'm originally from Oahu Hawaii, I started my nursing career in Reno nevada, However move back to Hawaii so that my family can help me raised my kids. Then my family and I decided to moved back to the mainland because we wanted to travel/make memories with our kids.  I've devoted myself to bedside nursing for 14 years. If Im not at work, I'm busy being a mom to 5 kids going to school. On my free time, I like to hike, eat, travel, and spend time with my family and friends. I hope that my experience and skills will help me land a position in this field of nursing. I am ready for a changed and hope that you give me that opportunity
