I'm a perioperative and critical care nurse with 26.5 years nursing experience. About 7 years ago, I volunteered one day at a outpatient surgery center as a recovery nurse to help children with cleft and palate repairs. It was a life changing experience for me to see the happiness on the patient's and family members' face. Although it was only a one day event, the memories remained with me. However, as a mother of three, I had to take care of my children and delay my dream until now when time permit me to pursue my dream.
