Caring for My Disabled Child
Stay At Home Mom
10.2004 - 12.2021
- I have a daughter with cystic fibrosis. Due to her low immune system, I decided to stay home with her to keep her well. During my time at home with her, I expanded my experience and skills by learning to administer medication through a central line, perform central line dressing changes, monitor glucose, administer insulin, provide pre-op/post-op care, administer NJ tube feeds, perform sinus washes, administer injections, administer oral medication, monitor O2, manage infusions, conduct pulmonary function tests, ensure airway clearance, and administer nebulized medication. Nursing has always been my passion, so as she got older, I was eager to return to the health care field.
