Summary
I am an experienced registered nurse and I have been employed as a nurse since 1987.
I have not been working since 11/2023 due to taking time off to close my deceased mothers home and my current home after the death of my husband.
I am relocating from Tennessee back to my home state of Kentucky to be closer to my family.
