I have been blessed with a wonderful career in nursing for over twenty years. I have worked in various areas of the nursing spectrum but my heart has always been with long term health care. I love being a nursing home nurse! I have been fortunate to have the pleasure of caring for many wonderful people in the last days of their lives. There is so much to learn from the generation of people that now inhabit nursing homes. The stories contained in this work were inspired by my years of experience.
