Another newby here... I am a 61 year-old RN who had an extensive background in residential and commercial construction before graduating nursing school at age 40. I work at a tribal health care facility. I am a recent widower with a large family and nine wonderful grandchildren. My hobbies are powerboats, muscle cars, and 4x4 diesel trucks.
