Ashley Elkobi – Junior – Health Occupation
Ashley Elkobi is a junior at Greater Latrobe who attends the Eastern Westmoreland Career and Technology Center. She has been in Health Occupations since her Sophomore year. Ashley says she loves spending her half- days at EWCTC with Mrs. McCreery.
“It’s a big class and the skills we do are fun. There isn’t a lot of book work like there was last year. The girls get along for the most part, we are like one big family.” says Ashley.
She took the course because she wants to be a nurse when she graduates in 2015. Right now, the class is getting ready for clinical, in which a group of the girls attend a nursing home for a day to take care of residents.
Elkkobi wants to be a nurse anesthetist, which is a nurse that specializes in the administration of anesthesia. They usually make more money and the career is more in depth than a regular nurse. They control the anesthesia during surgery.
Ashley claims that if you want to partake in this course you have to want to do something in the medical field. Although, she also said that the class is really fun if you want to be a nurse, and it really does help your future career a whole lot. The skills you learn in Health Occupations are the skills you’re going to need to know in the future.
