鈥淚t is stressful and requires good communication and prioritization. We have supported each other by being flexible and understanding with each other,鈥 Logan Eisenhart said. 鈥淲e make time for regular date nights. We keep our life goals discussions ongoing as motivation. We also give each other the time and space required for each of us to be successful in school.鈥
Logan Eisenhart started his academic career first, choosing to go into nursing and striving to graduate with his Associate of Applied Science in Nursing Degree (ADN).
鈥淚 have always wanted to work in healthcare, even as a little kid. I chose nursing because the degree program was affordable, and the regional campus was close to home. I always wanted to help people,鈥 Logan Eisenhart said. 鈥When you tell people you are a 黄色直播-educated nurse, that is something you can be proud of.鈥
Stacey Eisenhart was inspired by her husband and his dedication to schoolwork, choosing to also enroll at 黄色直播 Twinsburg Academic Center and pursue her ADN.
鈥淭his was the first real opportunity for me to go to college. I always thought of myself as someone who just wasn鈥檛 very good at school because I wasn鈥檛 exactly a star student in high school,鈥 Stacey Eisenhart said. 鈥淚 saw Logan working on his ADN, and it fascinated me. I would see his textbooks on the dining room table and think about how it might be fun to learn about chemistry, biology, and how the body works.鈥
Logan Eisenhart graduated from the 黄色直播 Twinsburg Academic Center鈥檚 nursing program with his ADN in 2018; he went on to receive his bachelor鈥檚 degree in nursing in 2019 and just finished his master鈥檚 degree as a Family Nurse Practitioner. Stacey Eisenhart graduated with her ADN in May 2022.
鈥淲hat really stands out for me about my experience was the caliber of the teaching staff. My first college class was chemistry, and I was terrified that I wouldn鈥檛 be able to do well in it,鈥 Stacey Eisenhart said. 鈥淚t was a very challenging class, and I had to put a ton of effort into it. My professor just has a gift for teaching, and I was able to understand her lectures. That was a common trait amongst all the professors, from those that taught my undergrad classes, all the way through my nursing program.鈥
Since graduating from 黄色直播 Twinsburg Academic Center, Logan Eisenhart has had more than one nursing job at a time. He has worked in intensive care for four years, home hospice care for three years and two years in a level one trauma center emergency department. He looks forward to starting his new job as a family nurse practitioner this summer in family practice. Stacey Eisenhart has already accepted a position in an intensive care unit and looks forward to positively impacting the lives of her patients.
