Dorothy's Story

Life hola! thought i'd post a bio, since a few people have visited my profile. been married on/off to my soul mate, rick (from hawaii) since 1984. we have 2 lovely daughters, rachel(20) & melanie(17), who both attended (youngest will be graduating this june,2007) SJND. we live in a "noah's arc", as we have quite a few pets in our house-hold: mocha(13), our mixed-lab/rot/pit; lucky(also,13), our orange, fluffy tabby; abu(14), our skittish, but beautiful, black, pussycat; and heart(5), our pure and innocent, indoor, white/black princess-kitty; not to mention, honu, our aging tortuga, that, swims and wades in the murky waters of melanie's turtle tank. (God only knows the few times she's cleaned it!) College couldn't stand my roomate at chico state. such a whiny, brat she was. can't remember a damn thing in regards to classes, as i was alway absent. attended chico ONLY to get-away from home. transferred to SFSU in the city (for a year), carpooling with my dear, buddies, making everyone late for classes, of course!;...Expand for more
then,got KICKED-OUT of nursing school (samuel merritt) for incomplete clinical work. who cared, back then?! certainly not me. Workplace after my college mayhem, during my 20's, i FINALLY cracked the books during my "married with children" days. AND, as challenging as that was, i managed to complete and accomplish almost a 4.0 average in my nursing courses. WOW! WOW! and WOW!! since passing the boards in the early 90's, i have been working at summit medical center as cardiac step-down RN , and part-time clinicial instructor at merritt college, ADN nursing program. do i love it? hell, yes!! and my students know better than to be absent from my class. they know what kind of make-up assignments i give, the ruthless teacher that i am! i hope to attain my master's in nursing, with special emphasis in education in the next 2 yrs. --- howz that for education?! Military no specific military branch; however, i have joined the newest craze in the bay area ... better known as, adventure boot camp for physical fitness.
