从威斯康辛大学奥什科什分校毕业后, Shane Carter, ’01, 他的医疗保健生涯始于在医院担任重症监护室护士，现在被称为阿森松东北威斯康辛-仁慈校园.
Today, just 20 or so years later, 卡特已经成为该机构的总裁，该机构距离他的母校仅几英里.
“华盛顿大学奥什科什帮助我塑造了今天的自己,” said Carter, 去年11月，谁被任命为威斯康辛州东北部阿森松仁慈校区的校长. “这真的帮助我为自己的护理经历定下了基调, but more importantly, 作为一个仆人式的领导者，以同情和正直为导向.”
卡特的经历是威斯康辛大学奥什科什分校(University of Wisconsin Oshkosh)众多校友事业成功故事中的一个，这些成功故事都是从泰坦们准备进入这个领域的同一个城市和地区开始并继续下去的.
当他回顾自己的旅程时，卡特承认这并非一帆风顺.
At 最新出的网赌网址大全, he needed and got a wake-up call. While a student in the College of Nursing, 他有一位很有影响力的教授兼导师，他对他平淡无奇的学习成绩进行了批评. He remembers that humbling experience.
“I was the typical college student, 可能把教育放在了第三位，排在与朋友外出和工作之后,“ he said. “I was in ‘Adult Health 1’ with Dr. Sharon Chappy, and she was very honest with me. She said, ‘I don’t know if you’re going to pass this class, 我不知道你还能不能通过考试, I don’t know if you’re ever going to be a nurse.’”
这是年轻的卡特需要安定下来的震动.
“That was the final push for me, to buckle down and take this seriously,” he said, “我在大四的时候表现得更好了，所以我有了今天.”
Since graduating with his nursing degree in 2001, 卡特曾在他目前执掌的这家医院担任重症监护室护士. 最近，他在奥什科什的奥罗拉医疗中心担任副总裁兼首席护理官.

他回到母校攻读护理硕士学位, even having another class with Chappy, 他现在已经从康考迪亚大学护理学院院长的职位上退休了.
Carter shakes his head and chuckles, 注意到他和他以前的教练有过专业的接触.
“A part of me always wanted to ask her, “你是真的相信还是只是想帮我渡过难关??“我相信她只是想推我一把，让我清醒一点. Honestly, 如果没有她和西澳大学奥什科什护理学院，我不知道我今天是否会站在这里.”
查皮听到卡特对她的赞扬很高兴.
“我很荣幸地知道，‘我’的一小部分影响了他，让他利用自己的才能成为今天杰出的护士领袖,” she said. “我记得看到他毕业时我是多么自豪，当他进入并完成硕士课程时，我更加自豪. 我知道他在磨练自己的技能以扩大自己的影响力. I watched his career develop over the years; what he accomplished was truly because of his own talents and his abilities to gather talent around him. I knew he had it in him. I am honored to have him as a professional colleague.”
护理学院院长宣尹钟(音译)也赞同查皮的观点.
“鉴于肖恩·卡特丰富的经验以及他为确保我们社区获得高质量医疗服务所做的贡献，他升到最高职位并不令人意外,” Chung said. “我也赞赏世界大学护理学院的教职员工, who continues to work tirelessly towards our vision, 培养学者型护士领袖，他们将通过服务革新医疗保健, innovation, and excellence in clinical practice. 是学院的成员、我们的学生和校友成就了我们.”
在奥姆罗长大的卡特从未将医疗保健视为一种职业. He grew up loving sports and playing sports. His grandfather, Ed Goss, 在奥姆罗高中教体育和执教足球, 卡特是先发跑卫和角卫.
“当我还是个孩子的时候，我的激情就是体育运动. 我真的很想成为一名像我祖父一样的足球教练，”他说.
他从华盛顿大学奥什科什分校(UW Oshkosh)开始，当时还没有决定，但他想做一些以体育为重点的事情. While at school, he got a job at a local plasma center, 作为一名抽血师，他发现他的许多同事都是护理专业的学生. 他们劝他考虑一下护理专业，他照做了.
“I was in a health care setting at the plasma center, interacting with the donors, the community, 我觉得自己有点被召唤要进入那种服务行业,” he said.
他申请了最新出的网赌网址大全的护理课程，被录取了，再也没有回头.
卡特说:“我很幸运能参与到一个特别的领域，那就是医疗保健服务。. “I don’t think there was ever a time growing up, or even in nursing school, in graduate school, 我想象自己会成为今天这样的角色，阿森松仁慈医院的院长. But now that I am, I will do the best that I can.”
