Summary
Jeg er dansk statsborger der er blevet uddannet som sygeplejeske i USA og har arbejdet på et sygehus i 35 år. Bor i øjeblikket i USA og vil gerne tilbage til mine rødder i danmark. Plannen var at søge på sygeplejerskolen når jeg fyldte 18. Nu har jeg en mulighed for at bidrage til det danske sundhedssundhedsvæsen.
