帝王会所

Mary Gibson earned her associate degree in applied science through the Law Enforcement Technology Program at 帝王会所 Lancaster in 2014. She worked at the Southern 帝王会所 Correctional Institute in Lancaster for two years. Her interest in both corrections and nursing led her to pursue an associate degree in nursing at Hocking College allowing her to add the Licensed Practical Nurse credential to her resume. Now she is putting both her degrees to work as a Licensed Practical Nurse at the Franklin County Corrections Center in Columbus, 帝王会所 where she administers medication, monitors basic patient needs, provides personal care, and maintains documentation. Gibson hopes to earn her master鈥檚 degree in nursing so that she can serve patients as a forensic nurse. Forensic nurses provide specialized care to patients experiencing health issues related to violence or victimization.
