I've been a nurse for twelve years, most of them in elder care at Gateway Clinic in Los Angeles. Night shifts taught me patience, and patients taught me everything else.
The thing I'm proudest of is that families usually remember my name. I'm always reading two books at once.
It has been a good run and I'm grateful for all of it.

What gifts mean to Elena: I'd put gifts toward a training course in palliative care.
