We had a wonderful opportunity to connect with the graduating nurses at South University’s Columbia campus! 🎓🩺 These future RNs are ready to take the next exciting step in their careers, and we were excited to share what makes nursing at Presbyterian Communities of South Carolina so special.

During our time together, we highlighted our supportive nursing environment, discussed how our teams work together to deliver exceptional care to our residents, and shared details about our educational partnership with South University as well as the amazing rewards and benefits available to our nurses.

We enjoyed sharing insights into the RN journey and hope to have the opportunity to welcome some of these talented graduates into the PCSC family one day. 💙
