Registered Nurse who worked in numerous critical care units, traveled nationally and international and volunteers yearly for for surgical missions to Central America. Translator and instructor for healthcare services within the state of Florida. Migrated from New York City to Florida where I enjoy the company of two sons, six grandchildren, two sisters, nephews, niece and numerous family members, friends and co-workers. I have combined most of my experiences to provide my legacy to all who have touched my life. Thank you for allowing me to share it and enjoy a piece of my historical events. My wish is that you'll laugh, cry and learn from what I've written for all audiences young and matured. Carmen M. Ruiz
