About Katrina

When i was young, 6th grade, my grandfather had a nurse who would come to the house 3 days a week to take care of him. He had CHF and diabetes. I would watch her in awe, she gave up time with her daughters to take care of him and when he passed away, she was the one who came to my school to tell me. From then on I wanted to be just that. I currently work full time and am restarting school to become a hospice nurse. I truly believe I have a soothing way to help families and patients through the difficult time of passing on. I am looking to do one maybe two cases part time. I miss patient care as I work as a financial coordinator now. I have patience and tolerance and truly care what and how a person feels. My grandparents raised me to be that way. My greatest achievement is raising my beautiful children!
