Don Mackey, one of the many male student nurses, has had several jobs con- nected with medicine. So it was only natural that he chose a career with which he was so familiar. Male nurses, more commonly accepted than they once were, can often be seen at CCCC. Th nursing program allows for nur ing practice for both male and J male students. One male nurse, Don Macke originally from Galion, Ohio, p sently lives in Auburn and plan on recieving his nursing degree May. For approximately twenty years, Don worked at odd jobs, all connected with nursing and medicine. He tried to breakaway a few times, but kept coming back to- nursing. He began his career in the Air Force as a physician's a sistant. He then worked in a lar general hospital in Ohio. Don chose CCCC for his nur: ing education because he was fa miliar with the Auburn area, an he believes the Good Lord chol it ' - 3 Don's plans for the future in, clude moving to the southwest- ern part of the country and be- coming involved in a Physician'sI Assistant Program in a rural set- ting. This would mean making house calls and treating people who live where they can't get to a doctor. For a small fee he would like to help people who can't help themselves. Another male nurse, Fred Ga etti, chose CCCC because he fee- he can get the same education mere, at a two year college as he would ifhe went to a four year school.
