Specializes in Urgent Care.

Wow, I felt like I was pushing it, I will be a New Grad RN at 42, that would still give me almost 40 years of working.....hmmm....I dont know if I like THAT idea!

But, really, WHAT AN AMAZING WOMAN!

She has been a nurse for 65 years, 50 at one hospital!

Holy crap. I wonder how well she's maintained her competancies, since I'm sure the standards to be a nurse have changed over that long period of time.

I would like to ask her questions. When did she start nursing, what changes affected her the most. What did she do for stress management, she had to have the ideal approach. And just WoW....she must have a really positive approach to life.
