Hi! I am a SWF, studying nursing and psychology as a dual major for a second career. (I previously worked in biotechnology). My recent courses include nutrition for health care, pharmacology, statistics, microbiology, pathology, abnormal psychology, counseling theories and practice, psychology of aging, including my nursing curriculum and clinical rotations at Main Line Health hospitals. I am an honors student with a 3.8 GPA and a member of the Phi Theta Kappa National Honor Society, National Association of Student Nurses (NASN), as well a many academic societies per LinkedIn. I have current CPR certifications, updated immunization records, FBI and state criminal background checks and professional references. I enjoy working with the elderly and have over 10 years experience both private duty and through agencies. I have had several years of Alzheimer's training and am an active member of the Alzheimer's Association of SE PA. I plan to practice as a geriatric psych nurse in the future. I enjoy keeping clients physically and mentally stimulated with activities and hobbies. My hobbies include cooking, gardening, music (opera, classical, jazz, swing), reading, playing cards, playing chess, trivia games, science and medicine.
