About Teresa

When I graduated from high school I got my first job at a nursing home because I wanted to take care of people. This was a very nice place but I hated the way they treated their clients, letting a novice take rectal temperatures, tying clients to the bed, and charging them for everything. I vowed I'd never let my parents go to a home and they never did. I was very close to my folks and I see the wisdom the elderly can impart. What I am most proud of are my three boys and my granddaughter. In my free time when I have it I like to do community theater. Last Christmas I was Ma Bailey in It's A Wonderful Life.

    I grew up watching my parents taking care of my grand parents , I guess it comes naturally to me doing the same . Taking care of other gives you that inner satisfaction which is hard to find in other work settings. I'm proud to be a Nurse . I'm registered nurse from a foreign country working as certified nursing assistant with extensive experience working with seniors with different healthcare needs and trained to work with a lot of diverse cultures and settings. http://www.thequint.com/2015/aprhttp://www.thequint.com/2015/apr/07/female-gender-mutilation-indias-well-kept-secret/07/female-gender-mutilation-indias-well-kept-secret
