The girl had recently chosen to upgrade her education. Her job at the dispatch was fulfilling, but she had in mind a career that was somewhat more…portable.
In a moment of shining, startling clarity (and a considerable amount of Googling), she realized she was meant to return to the path she had begun forging many years before – she decided to return to the health care community.
