About Kay

In January 1990, my mother was diagnosed with colon cancer. As a result of this, I had to take off work four months to care for her. Her insurance carrier only paid for a Registered Nurse for one month. Well, I had to step in. I was trained to do dressing changes, flush her groshen catheter, as well as bathe her and feed her. After she passed in June of 1990, I felt empty, so I decided that I would become an LVN. Although I graduated in 1992, I never went back to take the state board exam. Being a caregiver makes me feel that I have truly helped someone. I feel good at the end of the day, because I have pleased God, and I have put a smile on someone's face. Right now I am in RN school, and I should graduate in the spring of 2017. Therefore I am looking for employment that will fit in with my school schedule. Thanks for allowing me a chance to share my story. I look forward to hearing from you. This is the only current picture I have of myself (I am in the brown outfit).
