Danette Goebel Byrd

Graduated in 1992 from IUK and began working at Howard Community Hospital on the Med/Surg floor.
Took some time off after my second son was born and stayed at home with the boys.
Started working at Fresenius Medical Care in 2002
working as a dialysis nurse. Started working on hemodialysis now currently working with peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients and training them on how to do PD at home.

I do regret that I didn't try very hard in school.
I did enough at that time to get by.

I know that probably no matter how hard I would have tried, I would have never been an English scholar.
My most difficult class in nursing was the English class I had to take. Nursing classes were a breeze compared to that.
Maybe this has something to do with 6th grd. English class with Mr. Smedley (God rest his soul).
When almost every day he would have Rusty Stuttle and I believe it was Adam Brice stand on each side of his desk. He would then yell out a state and he would see which one of them knew the capital first.
At the end of the year I did know all of my states and capitals.
I also learned more then I wanted to know about coon dogs.
The whole year he only knew my name as Qeenie along with some of the other girls in the class.
