Former DHO Students Return to Buckeye Hills for Mentor Week
Kaitlyn Lowery is a LPN at Holzer Medical Center in the Urgent Care Department in Gallipolis, Ohio. She completed her LPN at Buckeye Hills Career Center and is currently attending the University of Rio Grande to obtain her RN.
In honor of Vocational Education week, the Diversified Health Occupations (DHO) Class hosted Mentor Week. The DHO class invited area nurses and nurse assistants who claim that the Buckeye Hills Career Center’s Diversified Health Occupation Program has accelerated their chosen career by giving an excellent foundation in terms of experience and knowledge. Previous students returned to speak to the current students. Instructor, Rebecca Stump, MSN stated, “These professionals who have now excelled in their careers once sat in chairs exactly where the students are now sitting.”
Student Cheyenne Arthur stated, “These former students gave us inspiration in terms of what is possible in the health care career fields. I know this is going to be hard, but I know if I put my mind to it, I can do it, just like they have done.”
The Diversified Health Occupations Class teaches high school students skills in areas of Ohio State Tested Nurse Assistant and American Red Cross certification in cardio-pulmonary resuscitation, first aid, asthma, epi-pen, oxygen therapy and blood borne pathogens.
