What do you like to do in your spare time ?
2011 was the first year that I have had "spare time". I've found that most of my off time is centered around the home. Landscaping, vegetable and flower gardens, eating healthy, cooking. Interior decorating and design. Caring for our animals. Theater, ballet, symphony. Travel. Reading. My latest passion is painting - oils, acrylics, and watercolors.

Comments:
I worked in many areas in nursing - med/surg, orthopedics. I even worked in one of the last TB hospitals before its closing. My last job in a hospital was in critical care as Head Nurse of Post Anesthesia Recovery. My husband was an Orthopedic Surgeon and after we married I managed his offices. We closed his office practice in 2016. We continued a medical/legal consulting practice until covid hit in 2019. I've had a long and interesting work life. Nursing has been good to me.
