Rosanina Ketchum
Dr. Rosa Ketchum has lived in Bartlesville for most of her life, having attended Oklahoma Wesleyan University (then BWC) and obtained her Associate of Applied Science in Nursing. A few years later after, she returned, obtaining her BSN at OKWU, eventually going on to receive her Master of Science in Nursing from Indiana Wesleyan University and her Doctor of Nursing Practice from Grand Canyon University. Ketchum has been a registered nurse since June of 2000 and brings a wide array of professional experience into the classroom. Her clinical practice background is mostly in medical-surgical nursing, with some experience in pediatrics and public health.
She is married to her middle school sweetheart, and they have five children together. In her free time, she enjoys reading, knitting, and exercise, considering herself a group fitness junky. Her passion is in combining fitness and music; Ketchum teaches various fitness classes three to five times a week, striving to use group fitness classes as an outreach to empower and encourage women.
“Nursing is an art and a science. Throughout all the nursing program, there is an emphasis on how scientifically marvelously the human body and its function reflects our Creator – as well as our fallen condition. Additionally, there is an emphasis on how providing compassionate care using safe evidenced-based practice is being the hands and heart of Christ… Nursing is more than a job; it is a vocation and ministry.”
