As a wife and a mom of 3, I worked in healthcare for my entire career from CNA to LPN to RN to MSN. After spending a large part of my career in ICU and Pediatrics, I moved to geriatrics and then to Home Health and Case Managment. I have enjoyed my career in health care supporting patients and families in some of the worst time of their lives - illness and potential death, providing support and education.
