Holiday Bucket List
Posted by Jamie Tutson on
We have had lots of changes this year. Some good and some bad. One great change is my new job. I no longer work long 12+ hour shifts in the hospital. I took a new role as a chemotherapy infusion nurse. This allows me to have amazing hours, including no holidays or weekends. With that [...]
