I was born into a family of nurses in 1958. At first, as a child, I was afraid of blood and thought I couldn’t not be a nurse. I soon discovered that it was only my blood that gave me fright. From a young age I loved school and I loved to learn. I set out to learn something new everyday. I still do this 50 years later. I started nursing as a Certified Nursing Assistant. I went back to school for my Licensed Practical Nursing certificate. Next, I went to college for 2 years for my A.A.S.N (Associate of Applied Science in Nursing) degree. Another two years, for my Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree and another 2 years for my Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) degree. I took care of hospitalized patients with all kinds of needs for 30 years. I tried never to miss an opportunity to teach them about their body. I wanted to share all I knew so they could get well and stay well. So many people looked to me for education so I sought out how to become an educator. I was accepted at University of Phoenix and graduated with a doctorate in Education and a doctorate in Curriculum Instruction in 2014. A back injury from a car accident in 2018 created physical limitations. After many procedures and surgeries, a partial recovery allowed me to do what I was born to do. Write. The pain has not stopped me from using this opportunity to teach health care and self care to kids.
