Not only am I a mother, but I have 2 years experience in healthcare and am a certified Medical Assistant. I honestly just kind of fell into care giving. I'm a natural helper. My mother is a nurse. It was only a matter of time. I have always felt that compassion cannot be taught. It must come from within to want to heal people through a few kind words and well-placed actions. People tell me I am a great listener because I don't hear only what is said, but what isn't said as well. I can adapt to any situation, and I have proudly nursed a 82 year young woman back from diabetic shock. I am friendly, approachable, capable of sound decisions and served 5 gratifying years in the Marine Corps where I got certified as a combat lifesaver as well.
