Abstract
Patrice Ellen Rancour first became interested in nursing during high school, and she attended Ohio State for both her undergraduate and graduate degrees in this field. While she was an undergraduate, she became interested in specializing in mental health; her first job after graduation was as a charge nurse at Harding Hospital, then a stand-alone psychiatric facility in Worthington. After a year, she moved to San Diego to work in a mental health facility. She returned to Columbus to teach psychiatric nursing classes at Grant Hospital School of Nursing. While there, she decided to return to Ohio State to earn her master's degree in nursing, which she completed in 1978. Since then, Rancour has held a number of positions at Ohio State, including at the Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital. Throughout most of her career, she also maintained a private practice. She retired in 2017 after having worked four years in the Wexner Medical Center's Integrative Medicine program.
