Hello Everyone, seems my answer from earlier this week did not load so here goes attempt #2.

My name is Ashley and I am a RPN working in Home & Community Care. Currently I spend my days hanging out in kindergarten with my little pal – giving g-feeds and singing circle time songs. I love my work. I’d be lying if I said it didn’t get lonely though. HCC nursing is tough, I work without the blessing of other nurses to learn from and spend most of my days with little ones. I am so excited to be part of this class to have some opportunities to learn from you all and you’re wealth of experiences.

I am a biological mom to two, (20f and almost 18m) and foster momma/auntie ash to many others. I went back to school during the pandemic to get my RPN and have loved the community nurse role with some time in LTC as well. I’ve done some palliative care in the community and now I’m eager to learn more about how research can impact my community practice. Thanks for reading! ~ Ash
