About deltakappamu

deltakappamu specializes in Pediatrics, LTC, Internal Medicine, FP.


Before I became a nurse, I was an MA for many years. Deciding I wanted to be able to help my patients more, I went to nursing school. I am also a grateful recovering addict. I am now living in Florida and I am an IPN (monitoring program) participant. I love helping others, and I am somewhat of an open book. I have had a long hard road to get to where I am now, and I love sharing my experience to help others!
