Hello
I am a 31 year old mother of two, graduating with a diploma in Nursing in May of 2013. This journey has been an amazing one for me. I hae learned not only about the field of nursing but about myself and what I am capable of when I put my mind to it. I am an herbalist as well as those things I stated above and have a sincere interest in holistic nursing and want to be a part of the progressive movement towards complementary medicine. I think it is an exciting time to be a nurse and an herbalist and I can't wait to be out in the world practicing my profession and making a difference in people's lives.
