Summary

I am a retired registered nurse as of April 2018. I was licensed originally in Pennsylvania and then Arizona. We lived in Arizona for a little over 12 years. We moved back to Pennsylvania in 2018 due to my husband's job. When I went to reactivate my Pennsylvania nursing license the board told me it had expired.

For the past seven years, I have been traveling to spend time with my children and grandchildren. Now I find myself looking for something to do part-time in the health field because that's what I know best!
