Summary

An experienced RPN of 30 years, with a genuine enjoyment of working with younger clients , with flexibility to be available for 2 to 3 shifts per week.

Although I retired from visiting nursing 2 years ago, to work alongside my husband at our family business, it was always my intention to return in some capacity to nursing. Now is a favourable time. I have maintained an active RPN license with the CNO and remain a member of WeRPN.
