What do you attribute your success to?
Relationship with God, the supportive people around me: Family, Friends, Co-Workers and my home health patients.
Being grateful.
Philanthropic Initiatives
I begin every day by getting on my knees thanking God for a new day of opportunities. I ask Him to help me do a good job with every one of His children who cross my path that day. I'm grateful to be in a position where I can help others.
Teaching and speaking
I've always had a desire to do more for people than what can be accomplished as a PTA. I've accelerated in wound care, including sharp debridement. Recently, regulations governing the practice of Physical Therapy have removed that from the practice of a PTA. Also, career growth is very limited for a PTA, however, career growth in nursing is nearly unlimited.
I do community education for our company when a need arises.
