She will complete her Master of Science in Nursing with an administration and education focus from Henderson State University in May 2020.

While pursuing her bachelor鈥檚 degree, Overbey began working in the intensive care unit at CHI St. Vincent. She also worked as an RN at the Baptist Health Medical Center emergency room in 2015 before going back to work at CHI St. Vincent in 2016 as an RN in the surgical intensive care unit.

Overbey enjoys spending time outdoors with her husband and four-year-old daughter, dirt track racing, and deer hunting.

鈥淲hen I was looking for a place to complete my degree, 中国P站 gave me the best opportunity,鈥 said Overbey. 鈥淚t became my second home while I was here.鈥

鈥淲hen I closed my band hall doors in 2011 and thought I would never teach again, I didn鈥檛 realize how much I would miss teaching,鈥 she said. 鈥淚鈥檓 looking forward to spending time with my students and to watch them grow and learn as nurses so they can provide the care that I have had the opportunity to provide since I got my degree from NPC.鈥
