Hello!!!  My name is Danya.  I am an RN and currently working as a substitute nurse for the Coventry, Johnston and Lincoln school systems.  I am working to get my SNTC through RIC.  I have been married for 12 years this year and I have a son named Patrick who will be turning 11.   I love my family and spend all of my time with them.  I come from an Italian American family so I have a large extended family but I also have 3 siblings, I am the oldest.  My husband also comes from a large family and has 4 siblings so my son Patrick has a ton of aunts and uncles and cousins.  I am also currently working per diem at Oakland Grove in Woonsocket, where I work with dementia patients which I love.  I originally went to school for Marketing and Management, where I obtained my BS at JWU.  I worked in management for approximately 15 years, both while I was in college and once I graduated.  After having my son I decided I no longer wanted to be in management but I wanted to change careers and become a nurse.  My husband completely supported my decision and now I am truly doing what I love.   When I actually have free time I love to read, and I actually have a room dedicated as a Library in my house because I have so many books.    I am nervous and excited to begin this class and start my first blogging experience!!
