Imelda’s Introduction

My name is Imelda Magdaleno. I graduated from Ventura College in 2008. After passing my boards I was hired to work at Saint John’s Regional Medical Center in the Medical/Surgical department. I worked there for about five years until overstaffing and layoffs forced me to move to Acute Rehabilitation. I have been in acute Rehab for about two years. Rehab is not the department where I want to be but it is perfect now that I am in the process of obtaining my BSN. The BSN program has been a difficult experience but I am very fortunate to have made some great friends along the way. Hugo, Margaret and Cassandra have helped make this journey exciting and fun. When I have free time I love to spend time with my two and a half year old son Fernando. We like to go to the park and take walks on the beach because they help mommy relax!!  The little guy at the bottom is my son Fernando
