Summary
As you can fully see, my profession was as an RN. I have been retired for 5 years an find myself so bored with this position in my life. I need to be involved with helping and assisting people and be involved in conversation with them. I have worked since I was a junior in high school in various positions with retail, clerical and banking before returning to college for nursing. I have many varied ranges of learning from each of these avenues as well as managing our own business.
I am very personable, friendly and energetic. I am in wonderful health and feel a need to continue to pursue it with activity.
I look forward to hearing from you. Kay Dahl
