Summary
I'm a retired senior after a long and enjoyed career in ICU nursing. Don't let my age define me. I'm motivated to learn, keep busy, but have never worked except in nursing. I need to suppliment my income and would like to do other than nursing. I work well with others. I'm strong, reliable. Standing long hours isn't a problem. Helping in a store or similar area is interesting to me. I need an entry level job that allows me to learn the routine. I look forward to any opportunity. Thank you for your consideration.
