⚠️Hi friends, ⚠️

Please be careful and excuse our mess in the drive. Just like me, the building is getting older and her plumbing is leaking. But the good news is it brought in some hot guys for repairs 😆

Thank you so much to Heartland Properties for always providing quick and quality work for me!

“I can’t afford to go back to school right now.”

That’s a real concern. And one that can keep people from even asking what their options are.

When you’re working, paying bills, raising a family, and trying to keep everything moving, investing in yourself can feel like one more expense you just can’t take on.

But before you decide education isn’t an option, it may be worth asking a few questions.

Are there funding opportunities you might qualify for? Is there a program that could help you build on the experience you already have?

At Alora Health, we believe people in our community deserve the opportunity to explore what’s possible for their future.

Some programs may have funding options available for those who qualify, and we’re happy to talk through the details and help you understand where to start.

You don’t have to have every answer before you ask the first question. ❤️

If you’ve been curious about healthcare training but the cost has held you back, reach out. Let’s start with a conversation.

You don't have to know exactly where you're going to take the next step.

Sometimes you just know you don't want to stay exactly where you are.

You don't have to have your entire career mapped out before you take one step forward.

At Alora Health College of Health Sciences, we're passionate about helping people in our community see what's possible in healthcare and giving them practical opportunities to learn, grow, and build on where they are today, locally!

Sometimes you just have to be willing to ask:

“What's possible from where I am right now?” ❤️

Nurse’s notes:

Back in the day, our notes were written on a pad of white paper with blue lines with the top header boldly typed NURSES NOTES. We wrote in black ink.

Today, everything is done electronically. I document electronically. I send scripts electronically. I research electronically. The one thing that a computer cannot do is replicate human connection.

You see this picture and probably laugh hysterically like I do at the blonde hair. This was me three decades ago with a fresh LPN diploma and the keys to the Med cart. I trembled at every med pass, fearful of making a mistake…….Just like I tremble every time I send a prescription to the pharmacy. What if I make a mistake?

Today, I sat in my office with a woman with the label of geriatric. If you remove that label, you’ll notice she’s still a woman. A woman whose brain never shuts off, self diagnosed ADHD. She came to me two months ago after every provider refused to give her the medication she wanted and needed due to her “age and cardiac risk”. She heard I would help her.

She came to me in tears begging for help. I researched the medicine, indication, dosage, contraindications, and adverse reactions. Every section screamed caution due to her “age”. When I would look up from my computer screen, I would see her face. Besides her amazing skin, thanks to Lora’s facial techniques, I saw desperation in her eyes. I made her recite OUT-LOUD every significant adverse reaction this medication could cause her, “because of her age”. I made her pinky promise to call me if her heart even fluttered weird. 😆 But we did it. We took that leap hand-in-hand.

First, I made her go get an ECG, which now thanks to the Ripley Co. health department, we will be able to do those in the office. Everything came back good so I sent in the script. I’ve spent countless nights worrying over her. And she would send me sweet text throughout the week reassuring me that she was doing great.

Today, she sat on my office for her follow up. Yes, I make everyone come in for follow ups. I want see your eyes. I want to listen to your heart. But I also want to feel your heart and know how you are doing body, mind and soul. ♥️

She was radiant! She went on and on about how much better she feels and made me pinky promise to never take the medication away from her. And then she said the words, “you do not understand how it feels to be me”.

No, I don’t. But I’m a nurse. A nurse with empathy, compassion, and a script pad.

So many things have changed in nursing over the last three decades of my career, but the one thing that hasn’t is the individual needs of people.

As I go to bed tonight, I thank God for this awesome opportunity to be able to walk alongside people throughout this life and make their days a little better, even if it is through an electronic RX.

Nite, friends!
💋 V.

Ps…. Don’t you dare laugh at my blonde hair, it was a phase! 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️😆

“I’d love to go back to school, but I don’t have time.”

We hear that a lot.

Life doesn’t exactly clear its schedule when you decide you want to learn something new.

You’re working. You have a family. You have bills. Your calendar is already full.

So adding school can feel overwhelming.

But continuing your education doesn’t always mean putting your whole life on hold. Sometimes it means finding a program that fits into the life you already have.

That’s something we think about at Alora Health College of Health Sciences.

Whether you’re looking to advance in healthcare, add a new skill, or explore a different direction, our goal is to provide practical education right here in our community.

If you’ve ever thought, “I’d love to, but I just don’t have the time,” maybe the question isn’t whether you have time.

Maybe it’s what could be possible if you found the right fit.

So Poppy’s first day of “Nurse on the job training”didn’t go quite as I had planned.

She did not read her job description very well that included NO SLEEPING on the job!

Maybe you’re not looking for a new career.

Maybe you actually like the work you’re doing.

You like your residents. You like your patients. You like knowing that what you do matters.

But somewhere along the way, you started wondering…

“What else could I do?”

Maybe you’ve thought about taking another class, adding a new credential, learning a different skill, or opening the door to an opportunity you haven’t considered before.

And then life happens.

Work. Kids. Bills. Schedules. And suddenly that idea you had six months ago is still sitting in the back of your mind.

Here’s the thing:

Growing in healthcare doesn’t always mean starting over.

Sometimes it means building on what you already know.

One class.
One new skill.
One next step.

That’s one of the things we love about healthcare education at Alora. We’re not just interested in helping people earn another credential.. we want to help people see what might be possible from where they are right now.

So if you’ve ever caught yourself thinking, “I wonder what I could do next…”

Maybe it’s worth finding out.

What’s one healthcare career path you’ve been curious about?
