Profile
I have been an RN for 8 years, before that I spent 5 years in the Navy as a Hospital Corpsman working with the Marines and spent some time deployed in Cuba and Haiti working on the USS Nassau. After receiving my Bachelors in Nursing and Psychology from ODU I landed a job working on the Oncology stepdown unit in Norfolk General Hospital. I have experience in many different specialties, although I will always have a place in my heart for Oncology and Hospice patient. Although as health care providers our goal focuses on the physical healing there are times when this is not possible and I have found that the mot powerful thing you can do for may people is to help to heal mentally and physically. This type of healing and support can improve the lives of those who experience it and I have learned more about the important things that we face in this life and how to better appreciate my own life through this process.
