Joanne Tapia was awarded a $500 scholarship from Golden Triangle Emergency Center’s Port Arthur facility on Tuesday, October 30th. Joanne realized her calling in nursing as a result of her mother’s battle with epigastric cancer. Joanne was by her mother’s side throughout the ordeal and it fell to her to translate the doctors’ and nurses’ words into her mother’s native language. This in turn helped her realized the need for bilingual nurses.
“By being a nurse, I knew I was not just going to help her but many more people who needed care, reassurance or guidance. Unfortunately, my mother passed away in the year of 2014, due to epigastric cancer, although it was heartbreaking for me I decided to continue pursuing my career in nursing for her and my community.”
We laud Joanne’s dedication and we also want to note that this is her second time applying for the scholarship, thus further demonstrating her dedication to achieve her goals. She wants to let everyone who applies know not to give up if they aren’t selected for a scholarship the first time because they might have more success the next time!

GTEC Announces Stop the Bleed Seminars for Area Schools
Few things are as terrifying as being confronted with someone who has suffered a traumatic injury and is experiencing major, life-threatening blood loss. However, while many other elements of first aid such as CPR are relatively widely known, many fewer people know what to do when faced with a medical emergency involving severe bleeding. That’s why Golden Triangle Emergency Center has partnered with the Bleeding Control Organization to conduct “Stop the Bleed” seminars for local area schools.
About the “Stop The Bleed” Seminars
Without life-saving intervention a victim of uncontrolled blood loss can lose consciousness and die within five to ten minutes. Yet this dire outcome can be prevented with simple, proven life-saving strategies. GTEC will be conducting training seminars on these skills at each of our three locations on three separate days for the nurses, administrative staff, and faculties of local area schools.
The first seminar will be held at our Beaumont location on Tuesday, August 21st. The second seminar will be held at our Orange facility on Wednesday, August 22nd, and the third and final seminar will be held at our Port Arthur location on Thursday, August 23rd. Each seminar will begin at 5:30pm and last until 8:30pm.
