Summary
I am a grandmother of six. I live in Dover. I was in food service for 25 years and at 48 years old, I decided to go to nursing school. I worked full time during the day from 7-4 and went to school at night from 5-9 for two years. I pride myself on patient care and a being fast learner. I accept orders and can accept constructive criticism well. I am very patient oriented and advocate for the patient as well as my teammates. I pay great attention to detail and truly love caring for people.
