32 years as a labor and delivery nurse, all with one job since day one at Kaiser Hospital Anaheim. She set a goal to retire after being 5 years cancer free, almost there but mandatory covid vaccinations for health care workers in CA as of 10/1 prompted her to leave a few months early. I have been living in Havasu for the past few years and she has been commuting, 4 days on 10 days off.
Now that she is done the plan is to spend a load of time in Glamis this season and then travel all of the Havasu hot months in our motorhome.
No idea how many babies she has delivered, in the 1000's, lots of very happy moments and some terribly sad moments. I was always amazed that she could come home and sit down for dinner after being in on a fetal demise, and then take the baby and make hand and feet impressions in these round pieces of plaster of paris for the parents before handing the dead child back to them for closure. Add to that all kinds of heroic life saving things on the side of the road over the years. I am sure that will unfortunately continue but it goes with the territory and I am glad she is there for people at their darkest time.
I think she will go back to work but not nursing, she wants to work at Lowes, loves her tools and home projects
Not sure why I posted this, she is not on here, just proud of her and looking forward to the future and wanted to share the news.
