I got my BSN from CSULA and worked in a local hospital for a couple of years and then moved in to home health care which I really loved because you can spend time with the patients and really do some teaching.

ks for Adams Media since 2005:
The Everything New Nurse Book
The Everything Guide to Careesr in Health Care
150 Tips and Tricks for New Nurses (based on the EV New Nurse Book)
and The Everything Guide to Caring for Aging Parents.
They are all available from Amazon.com and some Barnes & Nobles carry them. You link to them from my writing website KathyQuan.com.
I married fellow TCHS classmate, Tim Quan, in 1978 and we have 3 great kids. Amy will be 30 in Oct. Rob turns 26 in Aug. and Becky is 24. Nobody's married yet and no grandkids.....hopefully someday before we get too old to enjoy them.
Tim is an EE and works for an electronics distributor as a technical solutions manager. We left Temple City 21 years ago and live in Thousand Oaks.
