- About Me:
- I grew up following fire trucks. Of course, way back then, women were NOT allowed. In the 70's I lived in CO where everyone (nearly)volunteered to help the fire department. Always wanted to be a nurse, but took an EMT course and was hooked, apparently for life.
Paramedic followed, then nursing...now again, I'm a volunteer.
- Day Job:
- Retired ER nurse
- Top Issues Facing Responders:
- There are many issues today, but in rural departments, recruiting and retaining volunteers is definitely is an issue, as is training and safety. I want to make sure everyone goes home in good shape after the call is over.
- I Love Being in Fire/EMS Because:
- Caring for people and making a difference.
