About Birdbr

Birdbr has 5 years experience and specializes in Long Term Care; Skilled Nursing.

I've worked in Long Term Care (Skilled Nursing) on a unit for individuals with dementia and other memory issues. I'm currently attending school to obtain my Bachelor of Social Work degree and will go on for my Master of Social Work degree with an emphasis in Behavioral/Mental Health Counseling. Although, my goal is to work in the social work profession, the nursing profession is something I'm passionate about and knowledgeable in.
