About princsheather

princsheather specializes in CNA (Stroke, Neuro, LTC), Volunteer.


My name is Heather. I developed a passion for the medical field after my mom had tons of medical problems. I'm a CNA, was planning on going to med school but decided I didn't want to do that so now I am currently working on my BSN at Cox College.
