Work History

Registered Nurse

Providence Sacred Heart Hospital
06.1977 - 09.2014

I worked as an LPN for the first 7 years on a Neuro unit, I then worked on a Cardiac unit in the capacity of the expanded role of an LPN. I completed an Associates Degree in Nursing and transferred to the Labor and Delivery Unit for the Next 28 years. I started delivering the Babies I had helped to deliver.

Recently I have been working with an Elderly Lady who wants to remain in her own home as long as possible. I started this job as a favor to this lovely lady and realized that after 9 years of retirement, I missed patient care.

As I go forward and resume a nursing position I am excited to start a new chapter in my life.
