we were fortunate to get her back! She team teaches the Night Class with
George Ann.  Betsy has been a RN for 19 years. She has worked in
Orthopedic/Neuroscience Units, Medical Surgical, Mental Health and Home

  Karen Morris, SRNA

Karen is our CPR Instructor. She was a student in our classes almost 4
years ago.  She has worked at the University of Kentucky Medical
Center/Cardiac ICU as a State Registered Nurse Aide/Patient Care Tech
since becoming a nursing assistant. It didn¹t take her long to realize she
wanted to become a Registered Nurse.  Karen will complete nursing school
in May of this year. She is the single Mom of 3, worked to support her
family and went to nursing school full time. Everyone at Bluegrass Nurse
Aide Training Center is so proud of her accomplishments and we salute her!
It is our hope that after a few years in the field as a R.N., she will
join us as an instructor in our nurse aide training program.  You will
throughly enjoy her CPR course instruction and getting to know her.
