HARLINGEN, Texas – Erin Gordon recalled a moment during the pandemic when she was in a hospital for a procedure and a nurse provided her with comfort. “The nurse did a great job to ensure I wasn’t stressed,” she said. “Her job caught my interest because her approach was excellent. Additionally, my mother was enrolled in the Vocational Nursing program at Texas State Technical College. She recently completed the program, and that sparked my interest in health care as well.”
