Summary
After over 30 years of caring and serving in the hospital, I had to retire as mandated by the system, but I feel I still have the need to care for the sick and the helpless, hence my need to continue to look for a job 32 years has exposed me to many human needs, and so right now I work at Metro Community where we care for adult patients with psychiatric, emotional, physical and social disabilities. My hope is to find an organization where all my skills can be used to benefit patients being served.
