Cversity. But an unplanned visit to an intensive care unit, a white water rafting trip and a promotion changed all that. "My professional life has closely paralleled things that hap­ pened in my personal life," explained Cindy, Nursing Instructor at Denver's Veteran's Administration (VA) Hospital. "I started out being a social worker. My sister was adopted and I was impressed with how the social worker seemed to make everyone happy and solved problems. I was convinced I could go out and solve the problems, too." But during those six years of social work in Gary, Indiana, Cindy's father suffered a heart attack and his condition left him in the intensive care unit of the local hospital. Cindy's visits to the hospital to see her father had an impact. "I saw how effective the nurses could be and it seemed more tangible than the social work," she recalls. She decided to return to school, but with one condition. She had to pass chemistry. "I decided to take chemistry over the sum­ mer all by itself so I could really concentrate. I passed and so I went on to earn my Associate Degree in Nursing at Purdue." Her success in school called for a celebration, so she ventured out to Colorado on a white water rafting adventure. "I just fell in love with this area and I told myself if I could find a job I would move from Indiana."
