Nancy's Story
Life
I have been married to my husband for 42 years. We have 10 children (his, mine & ours), 39 grandchildren and 17 great-grandchildren. We are members of Xenia Church of the Nazarene and are active members of the Republican Party. Bob is retired from the field of law enforcement and I am a 26 year career Health Information Coordinator in the field of long term care.
School
After high school I attended nursing school only to discover that this was not my choice of career fields. I married shortly after dropping out of nursing school. After a diseasterous marriage, divorce and 3 children later I married my present husband. At age 42 I returned to college and earned 2 associate degrees in 3 years, one in Medical Assisting the other in Business Administration. I now have a wonderful career in medical records.
College
I attended St. Mary's School of Nursin...Expand for more
g in Huntington, WV, but after 1 year decided this was not the field for me. I didn't go back to school until 1982. I graduated the first time with a degree in Medical Assisting (with high honors) in 1984. I went to work in a nursing home after graduation but discovered I needed more for what I wanted to do. I returned to college in 1986 and earned the second degree in business administration in 1987 (again with high honors). I have the greatest career in the world doing Health Information Management. There isn't anything else I'd rather do.
Workplace
I have been working as a Health Information Coordinator in the field of Long Term Care for 26 years. Long Term Care is one of the most fulfilling fields in the service industry. Just knowing you are makeing a difference in an elderly persons life leaves one feeling great even at the end of a stressful day.
