Ratliffs topic on the BSCTC Speakers Bureau website is:

My Life as a Nurse, with the following description: I am one of those fortunate persons who can say, I've been working for 30 years and never had a job I didn't love. I graduated from the ADN program from PCC in 1983 (2 years after I graduated from Johnson Central High School in 1981). I have worked every possible field in nursing and have come full circle back to the campus I graduated from. I currently hold a Master's Degree in Nursing Education and am enjoying my life as a nurse educator!
