Visiting Nurse - Gina Flores

For the past two weeks, Gina Flores, RN, a parish member at St Bonaventure Church, Don Mills, Toronto, Canada, has been with us helping in the clinic, and, assiting with the after school program and feeding program. Gina comes to us with almost ten years of nursing experience. She has been working in pediatric hematology and recently moved to an adult setting doing similar work.

During her time with us, it seems that Noel (the tropical depression, storm, now Nor'easter) followed Gina from her pick up at the airport until her trip to the airport this morning. Yesterday was the first day she came to the friary for lunch - when it was not actually raining.

Dressing changes, blood pressures, and blood sugars were the primary clinical focus for Gina. While Gina has hopes of doing future 'mission nursing' she says that the weather did not dampen her experience.
