| My name is Erin Ratcliff. I have spent most of my life growing up in Blacksburg, Virginia. I attended Virginia Tech for two years majoring in Biology. I then transferred to Radford University Nursing School where I will graduate with a bachelor's degree in Nursing on May 4th, 1996. My present career goal is to obtain a job nursing in Blacksburg. Then I would like to go back to school, hopefully at Radford, to obtain my Master's degree and Nurse Practitioner. I would like to specialize in Family Planning and Women's Health, eventually going into independent practice. One of my favorite things is my cat named Tiger even though she is sometimes strange. |
| Hi, my name is Letitia Rexrode. I am a graduating senior from Radford University School of Nursing. I am from the small, rural county of Highland in Virginia. Along with becoming a nurse, I am also a volunteer emergency medical technician - shock-trauma. I have been active in the rescue squad both at home and locally here in Blacksburg, VA for two and a half years. I plan to expand my pre-hospital patient care by obtaining my paramedic certification within the next two years. Critical care nursing is my primary career focus. I am going to further my nursing education and practice by obtaining my Master’s degree, becoming a flight nurse, and retiring from flight nursing into the role of a nurse practitioner. |
