Phyllis Nygren Klotz Lea CSUF 1962
My name is Phyllis Nygren Klotz Lea. I was raised in Wahoo, NE., the youngest of two daughters born to Carroll and Lillian Nygren. Both were teachers with college degrees, so it was a given that I would follow suit. At sixteen I moved with my parents to Hanford, CA where I graduated salutatorian and received a scholarship from the Kings Co. Nurses Assn. Nursing was the other alternative to teaching in 1958, and it was the career I had wanted since early childhood. It was fortuitous that Fresno State College (as it was known then) was starting a baccalaureate degree program that year. We began with 46 enrollees and 18 of us completed our course of study in 1962. Several of us have remained lifelong friends.
My first employment was a staff nurse at the Fresno Veterans Administration Hospital working on med/surg units and then in intensive care for eight years until my first son, was born. Since then I work part time, and I was unable to return to the VA until after the birth of my second son. At that time the VA did not employ any part time nurses. In the interim, I worked at the Clovis Hospital and enrolled in graduate studies at FSU. When the VA began part time hiring, I returned, and went back to full time following the divorce from my first husband.
Two years later I accepted the position of head nurse on a 45 bed medical unit. In 1980, I changed roles to Infection Control Practitioner and completed the first epidemiology course offered by UCSD and the Association for Practitioners in Infection Control for certification in the practice of infection control. I continued in this role until my VA retirement 1996 and with coordinating the VA HIV/Aids clinic. Part time work in infection control followed at Saint Agnes Hospital for 3 more years.
I married Arthur E. Lea, also an FSU graduate in 1993. Between us we have six children and eight grandchildren.
