About itsmejuli

itsmejuli specializes in Home Care.


I started nursing at 45, spent many years living in Florida, moved back to Canada in 2011. I've worked in LTC and med rehab. Now I'm in home care, I supervise HCAs performing home care in a lodge setting. I think I've finally found my calling in nursing.
