About CathRN1957

Went to nursing school in 1981 after having my first baby and realizing the life I'd chosen wasn't enough for him, so went to college, decided on nursing because at that same time my dad was given 6 months to love d/t a severely sclerosed and blocked heart. Now I'm semiretired semi disabled, but there's plenty of elderly, friends, church buddies, and neighbors that need a nurses helping hand to keep me busy always. Had been an end-of-life (stay at home till you die) nurse after I got disabled because I saw and met too many elderly that were more 'in-between' really needing a nursing home and wanting to stay at home, so I helped them stay at home. Was the experience of a lifetime.
