Pamela Oglesby

Joined 3 years ago from Florida. Last activity 26 hours ago.

I love research, writing, history and reading. I have been on Hubpages for almost 4 years. I have been writing articles for years and am a freelance writer as well. I have always had a multitude of hobbies and I have a bachelors degree in nursing. I worked in several capacities as an RN for 22 years, but primarily in hospital management for much of my professional career

I was working on my master's degree when I became ill with lupus, which ultimately ended my nursing career. I adore family times with my children and 3 grandchildren. I like to spend my time writing, doing genealogy research, reading historical novels, gardening, making stained glass art and traveling. I am active in several genealogy organizations and I am a joyful Christian. 

I enjoy writing on Hubpages, meeting new friends and you will too if you sign up.
