I chose nursing because I wanted to make a difference in the way people had been treated in nursing homes when I was young (in the 70's). I was determined to set out and make that change, and I'm proud to say I have made changes in more than hundreds of people's lives in my career and I'm not finished yet. I have much more care to offer and much more teaching to do. Fast forward.. now more people are choosing to stay at home to be closer to loved ones or their loved ones are choosing for them to remain in their own home as long as possible so they can be as independent as long as they can. I am outgoing, and have a passion for helping others, I love to cook, especially for special menu plans.
