Workplace
I was a Registered Nurse for approx 17 yrs.l I put my heart and soul into my job until I had my 2 daughters. Before I had them I would work from 10 hrs a day to 14 hrs a day. Depended on if everyone would go to relieve us or not. I really enjoy helping patiences I was nursing supervisor for 7 yrs at Drs Hospital. I have not physically worked in a hospital for the last 4 yrs. I plan on returning to nursing when my daughters are able to do enough for themselves while I'm at work until then I am a elementary school librarian to be closer the then. Nursing is my life I still help out at our school as the school nurse and I consult everyone at school when they have a medical problem. Its the best feeling to get to help people who are in need and can not do for themselves. I also worked in the nursery it was also great.

If I won $100 million, I'd give 10% of it to animal rescues, then spend the rest on fixing my home, paying off my car and going on a trip with my daughters.
I share my home with my 2 daughters, which I find my best friends forever.
