    I joined PNAGKC because: It is a wonderful opportunity to socialize,network and brainstorm with my peers and meet their families. It also makes me appreciate group camaraderie
    Thoughts about nursing: I love my job! If I didn’t, I would have quit and done something else. Nursing is a wonderful profession . And In this era of managed care, it poses a great challenge in our ability to perform as caring and competent caregivers. For me, nursing includes the good old fashioned TLC with reassuring words and touch to sense and calm the apprehension of our patients, their families and even our peers. This is our nursing Olympic torch and we must keep this flame burning.
