I love my patients like they are family, as a nurse you are their family when their real family is not there.

It is my goal in life to open up a retirement facility in the mountains where we can go on walks in the trees and smell the fresh air and go fishing and anything that those residents want to relax but I will only let people work there who vow to be positive at all times.

This book makes me dream even bigger; and I promise no matter where I work or what kind of work I do there will always be kind words coming out of my mouth and a smile on my face because that is
