Trident Technical College Nursing

Cassie North, RN, a 2018 graduate of Trident Technical College, is currently employed in Florida. When a patient experienced difficulties obtaining anti-rejection medication following an organ transplant, Cassie took proactive measures by personally retrieving the medication from the pharmacy. This exemplary display of patient-centered care prompted a physician to nominate her for a Daisy Award, and subsequently, she secured the position of LVAD and Heart Transplant Coordinator. Cassie reflected on her experience, saying, "I love Trident Tech, and I'm grateful my journey started there." We are thankful that Cassie chose TTC and are proud to count her among our accomplished alumni!

A NUR195 student nominated Mrs. Gowdown for a SNAP award this term! The Patient-Centered Care I (NUR195) faculty presented the award to Mrs. Gowdown during the division meeting and read the students nomination: “Mrs. Gowdown was very supportive and kind. She talked with me about my anxiety and helped me with NCLEX-style questions. Each time I did well on a test, she congratulated me and kept giving me motivation. I always felt I could email her anytime I needed help. She was very sweet and encouraging.” Thank you Mrs. Gowdown for supporting our students and offering encouragement every step of the way!
