Summary
When my children were in school, I was fortunate enough to be able to spend 13 years in the school district of Academy to be able to be involved with their lives. Then I returned to school to do something I had dreamed of and became a nurse. When my elderly parents moved in with me and needed full time care I had to put public nursing on the back burner for awhile. I am excited to get back into the nursing field.
