Does anyone have any suggestions to market myself from a people person to a people person :)?  I have worked in Admininstration for 23 + years and want to get involved in Hospice (or eldercare) as I find I have a God given talent for helping those left behind and those leaving.  I have great empathy with the family and the patient.

I am not an RN, LPN, CMA, etc., but would consider a certification if required.  I am a certified Mediator and one of the first graduates of the OAALA  (Oklahoma Aging Advocacy Leadership Academy).  I volunteered for the Sr. Citizens Center for several years and really enjoyed my time there.

I live in Oklahoma and I am not able to move at this time.  My husband is 100% disabled, but after 4 surgeries is finally getting around well enough for me to travel the state some (50 mile radius).

Networking is where I am right now.  I know several individuals in OKDHS state level and have feelers out.

Thanks for any & all advise.  Nina
