Samira Monet' Hayes

Bachelor of Science in Nursing-South University, Columbia

“If it was not for South University professors and clinical instructors, I would not have the foundation and knowledge-base to be a successful, critical thinking nurse. Education is the key, simple and true. If I had not earned my degree I would not be in the position I am in today, nor would the opportunities that present themselves to me be available.”

Shirrelle Everett

Class of '15

Bachelor of Science in Nursing-South University, Richmond

“It took me almost ten years to realize that without an education I would be stuck working for minimum wage at dead-end jobs, I was a single mother of two children living on welfare. South University allowed me to gain the knowledge and skills needed to advance my career at my own pace. My education has enabled me to take care of my family.”

Sylvia Rushing

Class of '10

Bachelor of Science in Nursing-South University, Columbia

“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”
