William's Story
Life
It's been a wild ride so far! Spent the last two years of high school stoned :) Spent 8 years in the Navy - 4 on a big fat submarine... Life's been fun, crazy, scary, difficult at times and yet through it all - blessed. I'm lucky to be where I am, to have what I do, to be in a great relationship with my partner, Kurt, and to have the love of my family and friends. Regrets? Sure. But, there is no going back. No do-overs. It's about knowing what I know now. And knowing that I have everything I need. Gratefulness abounds. Namaste.
College
I went to Montana State University - Billing(as a non-traditional student.... which means old) :) for my freshman / sophomore pre-nursing classes and then graduated from Montana Sta...Expand for more
te U - Bozeman after completion of the BSN program.
Workplace
Graduated from college and worked at St. Vincent's Hospital in Billings, Montana in the pediatric unit. I initially wanted to do adult critical care, but the manager wouldn't hire new grads into that unit, and so, by a fluke, i got hired into the peds unit. I was hooked and a year later we moved to Seattle where I now work in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit.
Military
Went to GLAKES for basic and ET-A school, then on to subschool and then to the OHIO PRECOMUNIT. After commissioning was on OHIO Gold crew. Left in '83 for shore duty at Trident Refit Facility, Bangor. Got out in '86.
I then wandered aimlessly.... trying to get my life together. I think it worked. ;-)
