After graduating from Chippewa Falls High School, Peloquin, 82, opted for the St Joseph’s School of Nursing in Marshfield. “All my kids went on to college, ” Peloquin said with a grin. Other titles have included associate director of nursing at Barron Memorial Medical Center and both education coordinator and director of nursing for Heyde Health System. Armed with such experience, Peloquin has developed curriculum for nursing assistant courses at multiple local nursing homes. Peloquin did note that for those interested in the field, “You can do absolutely anything in nursing.” Peloquin hopes her story inspires others to pursue careers in nursing, an industry in which there’s a significant shortage of workers.
