ALUMNI SUCCESS

Student Feature: Lisa Elmhorst ’20, a student in the RN to BSN program completed a practicum experience at Marshfield Clinic Health System I was born and raised in Marshfield. I obtained my associate degree in nursing in 2007 from Mid-State Technical College, and am currently completing my RN to BSN at UW-Stevens Point. I spent my semester capstone working on influenza vaccine promotion and coordination of care. I was able to assist with a pilot drive-thru influenza vaccine clinic which was a great experience. This will help with future vaccination clinics when the COVID-19 vaccine is available. Overall, I have learned it takes multiple departments to come together with excellent communication to make the influenza vaccine season a success. Meranda was amazing and always included me in meetings and additional opportunities such as helping with educational materials or organizing influenza vaccine calendars by center. I am currently work in Anticoagulation Service at Marshfield Clinic Health System and love where I am at. Currently, I have no intentions of leaving this department, but wanted to expand my education for the possibility of a change in the future.
