    • About Me

      I have one year left of my "hard core" nursing classes that is leading me to the ultimate goal of becoming an RN. I am a mother of two children ages 7 1/2 and 5, and have a disabled husband who was injured in an at work accident in November 2005. We are currently fighting with worker's comp for hubby perament total disability and until that eventaully comes through. I work shifts with another local paid fire/rescue department to make the ends meet (well as close to meeting as I can get). Also in my free time I am a volunteer EMT for my local community. I have been running rescue for just over 3 years now and I absolutley love giving back to the community and helping out those in their greatest times of need.
