FUN Fact: After I was laid off from my career in Electronics in 2003, I went back to college at 50 to pursue a nursing career. I started bedside nursing in January 2010 & retired January 2020, incredible timing as I missed having to work during Covid. I was able to achieve my dream job as a nurse in Mother/Infant care.
