Victoria College alumna Lauren Green Becker credits her time at VC as the foundation for a successful career in healthcare that has led her to her current role as Chief Nursing Officer for PAM Health Specialty Hospitals of Victoria.
Becker began her nursing journey at Victoria College, earning her Vocational Nursing Certificate in 2009 and her Associate Degree in Nursing in 2014. She later went on to complete her Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN), Master of Business Administration (MBA) and Master of Health Administration (MHA).
“Victoria College was the foundation of everything that followed in my professional journey,” Becker said. “It was here that I earned my first two nursing degrees, gaining not only the clinical knowledge but also the confidence and work ethic that carried me forward. The faculty, resources and supportive environment at Victoria College gave me the tools I needed to succeed—first as a nurse, and eventually as a healthcare leader.”
Becker chose Victoria College because it was local, affordable and home to a highly regarded nursing program—a decision that she says set the stage for her future success in healthcare.
“Looking back, I can see how that early education shaped my path and continues to influence how I lead, mentor and serve in the healthcare community today.”
Victoria College’s nursing programs continue to prepare students for rewarding careers in the growing healthcare industry, with VC’s Associate Degree Nursing Program recently ranked as the number one nursing school in Texas by RegisteredNursing.org.
