“Well foremost, I am privileged to be the first in my family to get a bachelors degree and also, to graduate with honors from a really great program at South University is a great feeling as well. Dr. Morrow helped me see how nurses have a great ability to change lives, in very tangible and far reaching ways. I've known this gift a long time, but in studying for the BSN degree I learned that there is a whole new door opening to my career in nursing that I never knew existed”
