About happy.persimmon

happy.persimmon has 9 years experience as a BSN, RN and specializes in Acute Care, Diabetes, Project Management.

I'm a California based nurse. Experience in Mental Health, Medical/Surgical, Acute Rehab, Diabetes, and Leadership/Project Management. I am always looking for ways to grow as a nurse and help my teams grow. I was part of the logistics of my hospital receiving Magnet designation and was part of the team that opened a two tower hospital. I don't pretend to know everything, but I do have an experienced perspective to bring to the table. 

I love my family, plant based cooking, home remedies, art, and my God. Here's to being friends and breaking the pattern of nurses eating their young ?
