Career
Notes- went to Iowa
Methodist Hospital School of Nursing, diploma program, graduated in 1965;
received 19 credits for three years of school!; did take some classes at NIACC
and have 6 credits to go for an AA; probably won't achieve that in this
lifetime. I retired the end of May due to budget cuts in my
department.
Highlights of your
life- We have stayed
married! We raised our children in Harlan's childhood home and still have
it though are ready to unload the big house and mowing, snow shoveling for
something simple yet remain in Clear Lake, we'll see; career at Mercy for 30+
years working critical care, emergency room, then the Family Health Line (like
an Ask-A-Nurse program) which I was asked to put together, managed it for five
years then was staff nurse for the next 15 years after the consolidation of the
two hospitals in Mason City that occurred in 1993
Memories from your
school days- moved to Clear
Lake High School district in March of 1960; in the old school one week then
moved to the new building; raised south of Clear Lake and spent the other years
of school at Ventura; that school didn't have Latin and I needed it for a
nursing school entrance requirement so it was a good move for me; I knew from
age 10 on that I wanted to be a nurse; missed basketball at Clear Lake, Ventura
had it, Clear Lake didn't, yet; was in chorus but not a top notch singer though
I did love to sing and do like music; can't sing worth a hoot
anymore!
People I've Stayed
In Touch With- mostly those
wandering around town; hated it when they came in to the ER
Favorite song from
50s or 60s- Christian;
country western; Bill Gaither Trio,
'Because He
Lives'.
