Summary

I recognize that I have been out of the workforce for several years. That time was spent caring for my children and very ill family members. This required all of my skills as a nurse as well as being highly organized with great attention to detail.

Looking to restart a career helping people. Caring for others is my true passion. I love the elderly and truly want to help them live life to the fullest. Looking for a remote job in non-clinical healthcare role.
