A career in nursing can take any number of turns down myriad paths, like working as a traveling nurse or a home health professional. Greg Allison, RN, took a road less traveled. He spent about eight years working as a nurse after finishing the program at Barton Community College, then he followed his entrepreneurial instinct to open a company that provides skilled nurses to healthcare providers, AllStaff Chartered in Great Bend.

As a little girl in Mexico, six-year-old Jessica Perez spent many days in her Aunt Ana’s dance class practicing with the other students, until one day, someone handed her a microphone and she started singing along with the dance numbers. She remembers that day vividly as the beginning of a love for music that would guide her journey through life, and now she is sharing that love with others as a Vocal Instructor at Barton Community College.
Dance students wanting to learn more about dancing in college are invited to attend Barton’s second annual “Barton Cougar Dance Day,” from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Feb. 25. Those interested can sign up at shows.bartonccc.edu.
