We love seeing our students explore the many paths in healthcare!

Our Health Occupations student Kylee recently had the opportunity to shadow her mom, Amanda Holloway, an ER nurse at Cox Monett Hospital.

Experiences like this give students a firsthand look at the fast-paced world of emergency nursing and help them grow in confidence as they explore their future careers. We’re proud of Kylee for taking this opportunity and grateful to Amanda and the ER team for welcoming her and supporting our students!

The Health Occupation students are so excited about our upcoming (and ongoing!) job shadowing experiences at Cox South Hospital. What an incredible opportunity to learn, grow, and see healthcare in action! 🏥✨

We are so proud of our Health Occupations students!

💙 Thank you for doing such an amazing job promoting our program and making the 8th grade tours so much fun and engaging.

Your energy, professionalism, and passion truly make a difference!

With so much love and excitement for my daughter, Ashley Terry, and at the same time a little sadness for myself, she has officially resigned as our Health Occupations Level I instructor to stay home with her babies.
As her mother, my heart is so proud and happy knowing her sweet kiddos get to have such a loving, dedicated mom home with them each day. There is no greater calling than motherhood, and she will pour her whole heart into it just like she does everything else.
But as her coworker, I will deeply miss her. Ashley has been an incredible nurse, an outstanding HO instructor, and such a positive influence on her students. She has made a difference in so many lives and has helped shape the next generation of healthcare professionals.
Now, this opens up an opportunity! If any of my former students who earned their degree as a Registered Nursing (or anyone you know) have a passion for the medical field, love caring for the elderly, and feel called to teach and inspire passionate students, please consider applying.

Share this post and help us find someone ready to make a difference just like Ashley has.

We are so proud of you, Ashley.

Our Health Occupations students had an amazing college tour at Missouri State University! 🎓🐻
We explored the dorm rooms and dining hall, but the highlight was getting an up-close look at the health science buildings—such an inspiring experience for our future healthcare professionals.

We were also lucky enough to celebrate CRNA Week in the best way possible! 🩺✨ Current CRNA students took time to work with our students and help them learn how to intubate patients prior to surgery, giving them valuable hands-on exposure to this incredible career path.

Thank you, Missouri State University, for an unforgettable day and for investing in the future of healthcare! 💛

Level 2 students had an incredible shadowing experience today at Cox South Springfield! 🏥
They were able to see babies being born, observe amazing surgeries, experience critical care units, and so much more.
In Level 2, our goal is for students to narrow down what truly interests them and spend time shadowing and exploring the departments they were first introduced to in Level 1. Experiences like this help them make informed decisions about their future in healthcare! 💙

So proud of how far we’ve come!

SRTC Health Occupations students had an amazing day job shadowing at Mercy! 🚑✨ They explored the ER, NICU, Labor & Delivery, Radiology and more—such incredible job shadowing experiences.
We ran into two of our former students: Sarah Gunn, now the Neurology/Stroke Center Charge RN, and Lexie Jones, PCT! So proud to see them thriving in their careers. 💙
And to top it off… we even had a surprise visit from the Grinch! 💚😂
Thank you, Mercy, for opening your doors and giving our students unforgettable opportunities and free Christmas lunches!
