Summary

I am a registered nurse that has been out of the field for some time. November of 2022 I moved here to have a fresh start. I became CNA and worked all the way thru to RN license. I stepped away from nursing to focus on being a mother and raised 3 boys. As we know life gives us changes that we may not expect to happen. What better way to come back to the medical field from the education that you endeavored in life. I have had the opportunity to come back to nursing after taking a registered nurse refresher course that was 280 hours total of theory and clinical. I am a single woman that is starting over in life and I am looking for a Med/Surg Unit. My availability is open and my children are grown so being able to help would be an easy transition for us both.
