Lacey McCombs
Nursing Technology
Upon returning to civilian life — at that point a trained combat lifesaver — McCombs chose to pursue a nursing career. She enrolled at COTC’s Coshocton campus because she “loved the idea of staying local. Plus, the classes were smaller and more personable.” She earned her practical nursing certificate in 2008 and an associate degree in nursing technology two years later. After a full decade in the National Guard, she concluded her tenure in 2011.
