In her words:
"I have actually been a nurse for 45 years. I am 67 years old now. I worked as a med-surg nurse for 3 years at Mt Sinai Hospital when I first graduated from Hunter College - Bellevue School of Nursing in New York, in 1976, before moving to California (you eagle-eyed Bruins were correct!)."
She's fulfilled
The retired nurse said she feels extremely fortunate to have had a career in nursing, adding that she was helpful to others.
According to her, there were many stressful moments but it was overall very fulfilling.
In her words:
"I am very proud of the fact that in all my years I only had only one patient register a complaint about me (and that was because I said congratulations on your successful IVF and she did not want her friend who was in the room to know it was an IVF pregnancy).
"The worst moments by far (and I can still remember all) were when there was a fetal demise, especially when I was the one to discover it."
Reddit took to LinkedIn to celebrate the woman and many social media users joined in the celebration.

Lady celebrates achievement after bagging BSc in nursing
YEN.com.gh previously reported that a Nigerian lady did herself proud and celebrated her academic achievement. Taking to Twitter, the lady @Flowzz001 on Wednesday, March 3, announced that she acquired a BSc in nursing.
@Flowzz001 said she did it to make her mum proud just as she shared photos of herself in a graduation gown. The young lady also struck a pose with her mother in what is an adorable photo.
Some tweeps reacting to her post thought it out of place for her to study a course to make her mum proud and not out of passion. Others, however, congratulated the young graduate.
