I was currently working on an orthopedic/med surg floor in Naples, FL. I had just recently transferred back to cardiac telemetry, but recently decided to do travel nursing again. I also do charge RN. I absolutely love my job and always have a big smile on my face. I am living with my boyfriend Eric, and we have been together for 2 years. I used to do travel nursing, and just recently went back to that. I am currently in Tucson, AZ. Really loving this area
