Changing careers in a pandemic: RSCC helps Oak Ridge woman
Bob Fowler/Special to The Oak Ridger
An Oak Ridge woman said Roane State Community College is helping open new doors in her professional life as she seeks to become a registered nurse during the pandemic.
Krista Tillman, 46, is currently an emergency department technician at Tennova Healthcare’s North Knoxville Medical Center. She’s balancing online classes at the community college while tending to two stepdaughters and her work, where she interacts daily with people infected with the deadly COVID-19 virus.
Her work attire includes N-95 masks, safety goggles, gloves, hair nets and booties. She sheds that personal protective equipment at the medical center after work. As an extra precaution, she takes off her shoes in her garage and disinfects them with Lysol.
