Summary

I left the nursing field to home school my children. I am now hoping to return to the medical field to utilize the skills I gained during my time as a nursing student. I am seeking an evenings and weekend position in Phlebotomy or assistant nursing. I have worked in many different fields besides healthcare including but not limited to food service, retail, customer service, historical reenactment, education and remote customer care. My Experience as an Air Force Brat and an Army wife and my eclectic interests/professional experience ensure that I will make a flexible, highly adaptable, and cooperative member of your team.
