Each student is assigned a Program Counselor upon enrollment at REOC. Counseling services are available to each student. Program Counselors assist students with personal, family, health and social services concerns as well as academic and career advisement. Counselors serve as a referral source and can provide information regarding legal aid, housing assistance, health care, and other important information.
Conversations and counseling sessions between the student and counselor are confidential. Any time a student has concerns, they are highly encouraged to seek the guidance and support of REOC counselors.
Program counselors have knowledge of services that are available to assist students with disabilities. It is the responsibility of the individual student to disclose a disability and seek out services and accommodations.

Cultural Sensitivity
People of different cultures have unique beliefs, values, and practices. These differences make it challenging to offer health care that accommodates each individual. Some members of religious groups don’t believe in certain types of treatments, while other people may respond to pain and illness in unique ways. Those working in the health care field, particularly in nursing, must be aware of cultural differences and use sensitivity when treating each patient. As you work toward your LPN program, keep the following areas of awareness and sensitivity in mind:
- Faith and Religious Beliefs
- Social and Economic Sensitivity
- Trust and Respect
Cultural Competence
We are going to watch a video that shows the cultural competency. It’s not easy to overcome your own cultural worldview when treating patients, but it is a critical skill to develop for all within the nursing field.
