HCC was one of the first ADN programs in the state to initiate a nursing tutor program in 2003. Dr. Wilder envisioned another avenue for the students to use to aid their success in the nursing program. What started out as one tutor has now grown to employ six RNs to assist students with nursing skills. The nursing tutor role has now expanded into the clinical site with three RNs assisting clinical instructors.

Dorothy Koelbl, Lab tutor

She received her Diploma of Nursing from Mt. Carmel School of Nursing in 1950. She received her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Columbia University Teachers College in 1955 and her MSN from Boston University in 1957. She has been associated with various ADN Programs since 1957. She retired from HCC as a Professor of Nursing in 1995. Her many hobbies include sewing, working with her computer, and completing as many crossword puzzles as she can get her hands on. Dorothy brings many years of experience to her nursing tutor role at HCC.

Jane Meyers, Lab and Clinical tutor

She received her Diploma of Nursing from the Deaconess School of Nursing and completed her BSN from the University of Evansville. She has taught nursing in the past and most recently retired from Deaconess Hospital as one of the Assistant Directors of Nursing. She enjoys many different interests and counted as one of her favorites is her volunteer work with the Christian Life Center in Evansville. Jane also enjoys spending time on the golf course and working out at the YMCA. And she still finds time to sneak in a little knitting. Jane brings a fresh perspective of working in the field to HCC and our nursing students.
