Professional Summary

I have been a Registered Nurse since 1974 with a  3 year “Diploma Degree” in nursing from “Arthur B. Ancker School of Nursing” in St. Paul, MN.
I have worked nearly this whole time in various fields of nursing with breaks for having children and caring for them. I have worked in ICU, Cardiology office, Home Health, Assisted Living and most recently, in Hospice. My current job is as a PRN Case Manager, as I would, at times, need to go to other areas of the country to assist in caring for ill family members.
I am currently searching for a job that would allow me to work PRN, as I have at PruittHealth Hospice, to allow me the time to care for family members that are ill in other areas of the country. I am  able to work near full time.
I am eager to work with patient’s at home or facilities
