I have been a dedicated nurse in OB/GYN, Surgery, Dermatology and Long term care. I have enjoyed all the jobs I held. I am wanting to change the direction of my career to work with animals. I was raised on a small farm and have always had animals. I have accumulated years of knowledge in care and treatments for animals.
