I started in a surgical trauma intermediate critical care unit. I also worked as a float RN during my first 3 years at Riverside. In 1998 I went to the cardiac cath lab at Riverside. I worked there full time until 2017. In 2017 I worked part-time in the cath lab and went to work part-time in a free standing ER to make a full time job status. This gave me the opportunity to work both types of nursing that I enjoy to do.
