Robert's Story
Life
Living outside Fort Worth, TX since 1997. I've been an RN since 1989. Recently moved to a Cardiac unit after 20 years of ER and I also work part-time in Endoscopy.I have been blessed with 3 great kids (Kara is 22, Corey is 19 and Kelsey is 17).Divorced for many years, but I've been in a committed relationship with a wonderful woman for the last 2 1/2 years. Hope life's been good to y'all. Drop a line--I'll write back.
School
Forever branded as a "band geek", but proud and thankful for the experience. It provided me with stability and lifelong friendships.
Thanks to Jim Quiroz and John Letcher who helped me to become the man I see in the mirror everyday.
College
College was made up of several stages. Humboldt was...Expand for more
an awakening to independence--joyful, fun and insightful. Cal State Fullerton helped me to deal with responsibility and juggling the need for education and the realities of working. And finally, and later in life, nursing school gave me a profession that I could love and be proud of.
Workplace
Life is a long journey, taking you down several routes until you find your way. Finding a worthwhile career involved a few of those roads. Nursing is something that no matter how your day goes, you can look yourself in the mirror and feel that, at least at some point in the day, you made a difference; Somebody's life was bettered because of you...and ultimately your own as well. And you can't beat a weekend night in the ER.
