Abbegail's Story
Well, after high school I went to PVCC and got my Associate's Degree in Nursing. I worked at Culpeper Hospital for a year, then UVA for a year in the Trauma/Surgical ICU. Then I decided to travel and took a break from nursing while I worked on private yachts. After 2 years I missed nursing, and settled in Fort Lauderdale, working in the Trauma ICU at the local hospital there. After 2 years of that, I went to work for the University of Miami as an Organ Transplant Coordinator, helping talk to families about organ donation and caring for the organ donor, including placing the organs with the recipients.

I was there 2 years (yes 2 years seems to be my limit anywhere), then I was on other boats, and have traveled the Caribbean, Mediterranean, Northern Europe, Greece, Turkey, South America, and crossed the Atlantic 5 or 6 times. I also spent 9 months working as a private nurse in Tuscany, in a beautiful 17th century villa... where I have fallen in love with Italy. Now I am in Italy taking Italian lessons and trying to figure out how to remain here!
