Ghandi was a great man and walked everywhere he went so the skin on his feet became very cracked and hard, and due to continual hunger strikes was fraile but maintained his amazing almost supernatural gifts of peace and understanding, but again due to his eating habbits his breath was horrible.

About Me

My Photo
Name:
Location: Clawson, Michigan, United States

I am proud to say I am a Mother, a Daughter, a Student, an Employee, a Minister, a Healer, a Poet, a Cynic, an Activist, and many more things that change on a moment-by-moment basis. I live in constant amazement of this adventure we call life, and acknowledges that while the road may be bumpy, the ride is exciting. I graduated from the Registered Nurse program at Alpena Community College in May 2004. In August 2010 I received my BSN and the, ever the glutton for punishment I went back to school and obtained my MBA with a specialization in Healthcare Administration in May 2012. I am contemplating going on for my PhD APRN. If I decide to do that... SHOOT ME! I am a manager for a not for profit hospice agency based in Michigan, but the position allows me to work remotely so I may be traveling a lot over the next few years. I battled and defeated breast cancer and now I am living life to the fullest!

THAT'S why I work here!

I was wandering the halls, trying hard to stay awake. I ran into a veteran who had obviously just come in out of the cold. We started making small talk. He told me he was here for an opthamology appointment. I remarked on how the opthy clinic didn't open for another 2 1/2 hours and and with a sly grin he said "Yeah, I don't like to be late."

Continuing with the small talk he asked me if I was a nurse or a doctor or something and I told him I was a nurse on the 5th floor. He enquired if that was a surgical unit and I told him I worked the medical oncology unit. He paused for a moment then as he wandered off he said spryly, "Well, then I hope I never see you again." Made me chuckle and he laughed good naturedly as he sauntered off.

THAT'S why I work here. I love these patients.
