About me!

Hey, my name is Rachael Hammerly. I am a nursing major and this is my second year here at LCSC. I am really enjoying school, I had been out of school for 9 years before coming back so it was a little scary at first, but I love it!  I'm from Moscow originally. My husband and I moved down here for school and work. I love camping, watching football, and playing games (video/card/board/dice). I own a tarantula named Octavia, I think she is absolutely fascinating! Anything else you would like to know, just ask. :)

    Hi Rachael. I'm not sure I'd ever own a tarantula. However, I am fascinated by them from afar (really, really far). I guess in a town near Moraga, California, the locals have a tradition of a moonlight migration of tarantulas. I guess there's one particular time in the year when they cross a highway in large number. Can you imagine? A highway turned into a creepy, crawly sea of 8-legged creatures?

      I actually have heard of that, I thought it would be neat to see sometime. I wouldn't want to be driving while it was happening though, that would not be fun.

    Hey Rachael! This is my 2nd year at LCSC and also am persuing a nursing degree! :) As far as owning a tarantula I think it's great! Not very often you hear of a woman not being araid of a spider like most.How did you decided on the name? I actually have an uncle named Octavio, so I thought that was funny.

      Hi Judy! I wanted a name that incorporated 8 somehow and I just played around with it for a while. I liked the way it sounded. I can't take full credit though, when I was a little girl I met a woman that named her daughter Octavia, so the name was kind of already in my head so once I named my tarantula it all came back to me, then I had to laugh a little. What other classes are you taking? Maybe we have more classes together?

      Hi Holly! I have heard that they have a really good program, that is part of the reason I chose LCSC. I am not in the program, I apply in the fall. I am a little nervous, I have heard that it is quite competitive and so many people are going into nursing. When I started school here I think there were over 100 students starting that were persuing nursing, we were told that they only accept 45 students into the program, if I remember correctly. How about you? Are you in the program?
