Vicki Nelson-Hollis
CSUF 1981, 1994
My Name is Vicki Nelson-Hollis. I was born in Long Beach California I am
the middle child of three children, and the product of a divided family. I was
the first to go away to college, the only nurse in the family and the only to
receive not only my BSN, but also my MSN. I received both degrees from
CSUF, one in 1981 and the other in 1994. I was part of the first class to
graduate in the new football stadium. I was in the last group of nurses to
receive a Masters in Nursing Education. I started as an RN at Fresno
Community, on the oncology unit. After marriage and my first child, I
became a labor and delivery nurse at Emanuel Medical Center in Turlock. I
have been a part of EMC’s labor and delivery staff for 23 years. I also spent
18 years as a full time nursing instructor at Modesto Junior College. I taught
advanced medical /surgical nursing and leadership. I recently became a
certified legal nurse consultant and am hoping to open my own business in
the near future. I would love to some day join the nursing staff at CSUF!
I have a son who graduated from West Point and is currently serving his
military duty. He is a big Bulldog fan! I have a daughter in college, working
on a counseling degree and my youngest daughter is in high school and
plans to attend CSUF in 2 years. My children's father is also a CSUF
graduate.
