Rooted in compassion: New nurse and MCH leader reflect on the heart of healthcare
ODESSA, Texas (KMID/KPEJ)- For Arelhi Clavijo, nursing isn't just a career; it's a calling rooted in family, compassion, and a desire to serve. A recent Odessa College graduate now working at a local hospital, Clavijo is among the newest generation of nurses stepping into the profession with both purpose and perseverance. And as she begins her journey, she's not alone. Leaders like Dr. Timothy Benton, the new Chief Medical Officer at Medical Center Health System, are working to ensure nurses and physicians alike are supported as they care for the community. Clavijo graduated from Odessa College in December 2024 and began working as a registered nurse just four months ago. Though new to the field, her passion runs deep. 'Both my parents were CNAs and worked at a nursing home,' she said. 'Growing up around that, I saw how important their work was, and that made me want to pursue nursing and make a difference in people's lives.' A second chance, a first step: Inside Odessa College's Nursing Programs She chose Odessa College for its reputation, affordability, and proximity to home. 'They have a really good nursing program,' she said. 'In five years, I hope to be furthering my education and gaining as much experience as I can. I want to be the best nurse I can be, every single day.' That personal drive mirrors the philosophy of Dr. Benton, who has recently stepped into the role of CMO at MCH. Having served on the medical staff for over a decade, Benton says he hopes to support the dedicated workers by helping ease their burdens and strengthening the connection between caregivers and patients. Related: Medical Center Hospital names Dr. Timothy Benton as New Chief Medical Officer 'My job is to help ease the burdens on physicians and to be a bridge between business and patient care,' Benton said. 'This is about servant leadership. I want to support the people taking care of the patients.' Previously, Benton held the role of regional dean at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center. He worked closely with both MCH and Odessa College to foster partnerships aimed at building the healthcare workforce of the future. 'I think it's critical that hospitals and colleges work hand in hand,' Benton said. 'That's the pipeline for the next generation of caregivers, whether it's nurses or physicians. If we don't invest in them now, we won't have the healthcare workers we need tomorrow.' At MCH, more than 500 physicians have hospital privileges, not including hundreds of advanced practice providers and support staff. Benton says part of his vision is to use technology to alleviate administrative burdens and restore the core of medical work: caring for patients. 'All of us went into this field to spend time with patients,' he said. 'Technology can help us get back to that by handling some of the behind-the-scenes tasks and freeing up doctors and nurses to focus on what matters.' As a first-year nurse, Clavijo says she's grateful to be part of a system that values support and growth. 'My advice to other nursing students is to take it one day at a time and never lose sight of why you started,' she said. It's a message echoed by both Benton and Clavijo: healthcare isn't just a system, it's a relationship. And in West Texas, that relationship is built on education, empathy, and a community committed to caring. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

A second chance, a first step: Inside Odessa College's Nursing Programs
ODESSA, Texas (KMID/KPEJ)- At Odessa College, becoming a nurse doesn't just start with a stethoscope or scrubs. It begins with a choice…to begin again, or to begin at all. The college offers two distinct nursing programs designed to meet students where they are: the traditional Registered Nurse (RN) program and the Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) program. Both tracks share the same mission: preparing compassionate, competent professionals for the West Texas healthcare system. 'The RN program here at Odessa College is unique in that we run it over a year and a half, instead of the traditional two years,' said Yesenia Walsh, RN Program Director. 'It gets our students into the workforce faster without sacrificing the rigor they need.' Rooted in compassion: New nurse and MCH leader reflect on the heart of healthcare Students in the RN program experience a broad variety of clinical settings, from the ICU to long-term care. Walsh says the college partners with hospitals throughout the region, including rural facilities, to ensure students understand a full spectrum of patient needs. 'What's really special is that most of the students who come through our doors are from this area. And when they graduate, they stay here. They're taking care of our families,' she said. For Silas Hernandez, a current Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) student, that mission is personal. He was just a kid when an emergency appendectomy first sparked his fascination with the medical field. WATCH: Sila's Story 'I remember feeling so scared, but the way the nurses explained things and made me feel safe, that stayed with me,' Hernandez said. 'Now I want to be that person for someone else.' Hernandez is halfway through the program, balancing courses, clinicals, and simulations designed to mirror real-world medical scenarios. One recent experience in the college's simulation lab stood out. 'They had the mannequins crash, and we had to jump into action, bag them, start CPR, figure out what was happening. It was intense,' he said. 'But that's exactly what we need. It prepares you.' While the RN program is geared toward those with prerequisites and longer-term goals, Odessa College's LVN program is designed for speed and accessibility. 'A person off the street can walk in, take their assessment, and apply for the LVN program,' said Keisha Rasband, LVN Program Director. 'No prerequisites required. It's truly entry-level, and it gets people working fast.' That accessibility is critical in rural West Texas, where facilities often rely on LVNs as a cornerstone of care. 'We're in places like Monahans, Crane, Seminole, and Pecos,' Rasband said. 'Without LVNs, we couldn't staff many of our healthcare facilities. They're the backbone.' The LVN program has also become a pipeline for high school students through Odessa College's dual-credit track. By the time they graduate, some students are already licensed and ready to enter the workforce. Together, both the RN and LVN programs are shaping more than just professionals, they're shaping neighbors, mentors, and community leaders. 'Seeing our students out in the hospitals, precepting the next class, it's a full-circle moment,' Walsh said. 'We know they're ready because we see what they become.' And for students like Hernandez, the goal is simple: care with intention. 'There's going to be hard days. But if I can show up for someone in their hardest moment and make them feel safe, that's what makes it worth it,' he said.
