About shesjo

I was laid off from my job and since I've had no luck finding another one, I decided to take this opportunity to become a nurse, which is something I've been interested in for years, but didn't seem like something I was financially free to do. I was inspired to become a nurse by the Home Health Care nurses and caregivers who visited my Mother during the years of her chronic illness. She loved them dearly because they were so good to her. They came to her funeral. I want to help others. I also want the freedom from having to go to a single piece of real estate, day after day, year after year, dealing with the politics of hierarchy.
