I have worked in a handful of fields and never felt I was fulfilling my passion. My husband's job relocated us to Southern California in 2008 and I took the first job I could find, selling insurance. After I was laid off, my husband said, why don't you take this time to go to school for something you really would enjoy. I have always wanted to help people and make a difference in people's lives. In 2012 I began nursing school to become an LVN. I graduated the end of January 2014. I am waiting to take my state boards before I can actually work as an LVN. My ultimate goal is to work for hospice. Before I jump into that, I would like to gain a couple years experience working with people. I am a certified nurse assistance, home health aide, BLS and ACLS, IV certified and have taken a basic dysrhythmia coarse. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.
