Summary
I have been in the nursing profession for 30+ years, working in Labor & Delivery, NICU, and ED. I helped put together the Angel Babies program for Merced County to help families who lose their child from ages conception to 2 years of age. For many years I have worked teaching the students from Merced College and the Residents at the hospital. It brings such joy to be able to give back to these future Medical Professionals. It is exciting that I am being given this opportunity to now work with the students in the Nursing Program and help give them what was given to me so many years ago. Being a nurse is the best job ever. I feel blessed to have been a part of such a great profession.
