Welcome to my ENMU Ruidoso
Home Page!




I'm Chris LaCounte and I teach Medical Terminology online for ENMU Ruidoso. I am a registered nurse as well as a licensed paramedic. I have been a travel nurse for the past four + years working emergency departments around the USA accompanied by my wife of 25 years, Cheri (who also teaches for ENMU). We are proud parents of our son who continues his graduate work in Indiana after graduating from New Mexico Tech last May.

I entered nursing 10 years ago after a successful career as a classically trained chef. I teach both nursing and EMS courses online, as well as continuing my nursing education via the online arena. I look forward to completing my degree and pursuing face to face nursing education at the university level as well as continuing patient care in the emergency setting.

Enjoy the look around and feel free to contact me should you have any questions via the email address below.
