A month after graduation, my mother died and my life turned upside down. I married a man I did not know, because I was forced to leave my home. Moved to No Maine for 1 1/2 yrs, became a LPN/LVN, divorced and moved back to Azusa. I tried desperately to find people from school, to no avail with the exception of my best fries Sondra Drop. I worked in a local hospital's ER and went to RN school. After graduation I became the PM shift ER Chg RN in the same hospital. I left that hospital after being there for 6 yrs, moved to Huntington Beach. I worked at Humana Huntington Beach Hospital in the ER. I worked fulltime as a MICN( mobile intensive care nurse), became ER certified nationally and was again the PM relief Chg RN. While working there I met and fell in love with a wonderful man, also a RN, he was the PM house supervisor. We got married 5 months later, but because he was my supervisor I had to find another job. We built a house in Sunnymead ( now Moreno Valley ) so I went to work at Riverside Co Hospital. I accepted the job of fulltime PM Chg RN, MICN, Head Trauma Nurse. In 1984, a friend begged me to come work in the ER
