"I'm Ginger Barton. I'm a registered nurse, I work, I play. And I live in Eugene, Oregon. How I got my first job was very fortunate. Someone that I was in nursing school with, was very well respected at the hospital. That she worked at. So when she gave me a reference. I got a job just like that. My first job was working at the Presbyterian Hospital in San Fransisco. Where I worked on like, kidney and liver transplant floor. I got this job out of school because one of the women in my nursing class was someone who upgraded her degree from AA to BSN. And we were very good friends. And she was very well respected at this hospital. And when I used her as a reference. It just got me this beautiful job which I really, really liked."
