 Nearly 2 years ago I retired from my position as a school nurse after 22 years at the same campus. This enabled my husband and I to move closer to our Colorado Springs grandchildren.  Well, there was one grandson at that time and then soon after came twin grandsons!  Now that the premie stage is over I am ready to seek employment! 

My goal all along was to continue working part time for multiple reasons, but mainly because I value being part of a community that is focused on elevating health and education.  I believe I am a qualified candidate for a variety of nursiong positions, and I know I am a good employee and work team member.

Thank you for your consideration.

In order to strengthen my nursing skills, for my first year as a Registered Nurse I worked in a hospital on a Medical Surgical floor.   While doing that I began substituting as a school nurse to get “my foot in the door” for a career that would complement having school-aged daughters.  This decision turned into a 22 year career that was challenging and rewarding.  

 I attribute my success as a school nurse to my ability to develop and maintain respectful relationships with a diverse population to include supervisors, peers, parents and students.  These relationships endured while working within the scope of my practice in my clinic but also as I contributed to other areas in the community.   

Due to those positive relationships, I was at the same campus for 23 school years.   Besides being the campus nurse, I took on leadership roles in the school districts health services department.  For 5 years I was the school district’s lead instructor for CPR/AED/First Aid with the students being campus safety teams, coaches, and bus drivers.  And I was one of only 4 nurses in a district of 40 nurses that worked the employee COVID testing site.

Currently, I am part of the nursing team at MCA Home Care for one of my Grandsons.  His needs are primarily based on gtube care, feeds and supplements.    I typically work 1 shift a week.  This has been a great opportunity for me to help as a family member and as a nurse.  However, my intention for the next chapter of my career is to be involved in the community.
