About Joyful2bee

Joyful2bee has 37 years experience as a ADN, RN and specializes in Telemetry, ICU, CCU.


I graduated from a very old three year nursing school in SC in 1972. Married my sweetheart. After my marriage my husband and I moved to New Orleans for 8 years. I worked on a telemetry floor in a hospital on St. Charles Avenue for three years. I moved to a hospital closer to home and that is where I started my 17 year career as an ICU/CCU nurse. After a year there I transferred to CCU's in New Orleans, Mississippi, SC and NC. I changed to telemetry nursing again and stayed with it the remainder of my career. A year after my husband died I developed sciatica with two cervical and two lumbar bulging discs and due to my age and weight lifting restrictions retired from nursing. I am a photographer and a blogger now, enjoying life with my family, friends, and cats.
