About Tonja

I have been a LPN nurse since 1995. I started out as a CNA in 1991. I love taking care of people. Sometimes there is no one to help. And that's where we come in. I have worked in a Nursing Home. And also for their home health. It has always been a very special job to me. I like to help out where needed. I was 38yrs. old when I went to LPN school. I loved everything about it. Im ready to get back to work. I Love animals. I have two dogs. And love to ride horses. When ever I get time to.

    I have 20 years of experience in the medical/nursing field. I've worked in nursing homes, hospitals, and agencies and have found that in home care is the field best suited for me. I tend to be drawn toward Alzheimer/dementia patients as I'm learning my approach in care, they tend to respond to me best. I have worked with several families and helped to restore certain independence to patients with walking, dressing, feeding themselves. I ran a restorative therapy program for over two years in a nursing facility before deciding to take a home care position with an agency.
