Gardening, Music, Ministry Work at my church
I left my position in the Endoscopy Department 1 1/2 years ago when my husband was diagnosed with a terminal illness. I potentially was going to retire but would like to return to work as a casual RN. I found I missed my job and have come to a decision to re-enter the work force. I have always loved being a nurse and miss the patient contact and co-worked peer relationships. I enjoy my hobbies and especially caring for my infant granddaughter. As I provide care for my grandbaby, I would be available 2 days a week as a casual employee.
