Summary
Retired early from the field of nursing to concentrate on family's needs. That job is done and am now wanting to re-enter the work force.
Experience on the job as a nurse translates into many fields that require management, teaching, data input and customer service skills.
Can be an asset and good fit for the company.
Further more I am an organized and dependable candidate successful at managing multiple priorities with a positive attitude. Willingness to take on added responsibilities to meet team goals.
