After graduating as her high school's valedictorian, she attended Scott & White Training School for Nurses in Temple, Texas, and eventually becoming a Registered Nurse. At the rank of second lieutenant, she entered the service on August 1, 1936, at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, and served there until 1940. She landed on the Philippine Islands in December of 1941, shortly before the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. On Christmas Eve of 1941, along with 25 U.S. Army nurses and 25 Filipino nurses, she was sent to the Bataan Peninsula in order to start a 1000-bed hospital. Hogan served as Assistant Chief of Nurses until she was wounded March 30, 1942, as she and another nurse were assisting a surgeon while the Japanese plane was bombing the hospital. Badly wounded, Hogan suffered from leg wounds, a ruptured eardrum, and shrapnel in her arm, nose, and face. The Hospital #1 at Bataan was destroyed. On April 29th, she was ordered to Australia along with 19 other nurses. During a stop on Mindanao, her plane was damaged. She was captured by the Japanese and imprisoned in Santo Tomas Internment Camp in ManiTake, the largest camp for civilians. She and her colleagues cared for 4,000 mainly American and British civilians in the camp hospital until the end of the war. Although not healed completely of her wounds and suffering from malnutrition, she survived the ordeal of being a POW for 99 days. After transferring from the United States Army to US Air Force Nurse Corps, Hogan was among the first four women to attain the rank of full colonel. In 1962 she married Air Force Major Arnold Luciano, and, after retirement, they made their home in San Antonio, Texas.
