Meet Our Staff

Korrie McFarlane has been an RN since 2000 and has her Bachelor's in Science of Nursing degree from Grand Valley State University. She attended Western Michigan University for her Master's degree in Career and Technical Education. 

Korrie's nursing background has been in obstetrics and women’s health, and she has worked in a variety of health care settings. She has been teaching at KCTC since 2013 in the health careers department and currently teaches the Nurse Tech class. 

Korrie has always had a passion for education. She looks forward to each new school year to be able to give her students the opportunity to learn more about themselves and explore what it means to have a career in the medical field. 

I teach in the Nurse Tech/Patient Care Tech (NT/PCT) course of the Health Careers program. I have been a nurse for over 35 years and my specialties are Gerontological Nursing and Mental Health Nursing. My education is from the University of Michigan (Go Blue!), where I received both my Bachelor of Science in Nursing (B.S.N.) and Master of Science in Nursing (M.S.N.) degrees. In addition to my work here at KCTC, I am a mom to twin adult daughters who keep me busy with their lives and interests. I love teaching at KCTC because students get opportunities here that they cannot get anywhere else. Our NT/PCT students learn and practice clinical skills in our labs, then are able to go to the hospital setting where they are doing the work of NT/PCTs. The students learn what it means to be a healthcare professional. They develop the skills and abilities necessary to be successfully employed upon graduation.

I have been caring for patients as a Registered Nurse since 2003 and have moved into the classroom to inspire the next generation of healthcare workers. I am thrilled to be a part of the team at KCTC!

I attended Michigan State University for my undergrad (Go Green!) and I am currently pursuing my Masters degree through Western Michigan University.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my two sons, thrifting, camping and being outdoors, baking and trying new recipes, and traveling when I have the chance. The two favorite places I've traveled have been Yosemite and Hawaii.
