Summary
As you can probably tell, I have been a registered nurse for quite some time. I practiced nursing for 53 years before retiring in 2021. I have worked in many different areas of nursing including the blood bank of KC; several physician offices; the Johnson County jail; Kaiser Permanente (13 years) as a clinic nurse, triage nurse and supervisor; pharmaceutical research and pediatrics.
I am looking for part-time work, 1-2 days a week and preferably remote from home, such as phone triage or education.
