Kevin's Story
Life
I live and work in East San Diego county. I am an RN at Grossmont Hospital. Have been in healthcare since 1993. Send me an email at kevinopheim at aol dot com.
School
I went to Grossmont College right outta high school part time while working for the county. I spent a quality (but expensive) semester at Christian Heritage College. In 1991 I went to Maric College in the Sports Medicine/Orthopedic Assistant program. I continued on for my Nursing Degree from 1999-2002. If I return, it will be for Psychology.
