ELLISVILLE– <\/strong>The second class of 糖心直播\u2019s Practical Nursing graduates that earned their degrees at the Jasper County Center in Bay Springs recently received their professional pins at a ceremony held at the Center. Amongst the graduates was Chelsey Booth of Hot Coffee, who began the Practical Nursing program with the first class but fell short.<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t make it by 2.1 points. I had sent out graduation invitations and everything! I really thought I was going to graduate last summer so I was really devastated,\u201d shared Booth. \u201cI have faith, so I didn\u2019t quit. I just asked for strength to make it through the year because I had to sit out for a year before I could come back this summer and finish the course.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All summer, the 33-year-old former Sanderson Farms Childcare Center employee drove 42 minutes daily to class and work to finally achieve her \u201cpurpose\u201d in life and become a nurse. Of course, Booth had to overcome several more obstacles before she would realize her dream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDuring Covid, I was praying for my purpose, and I saw myself saving someone in an emergency situation and that\u2019s been my dream ever since,\u201d shared Booth. \u201cHowever, since I started nursing school again, my mom retired after 23 years from Landmark in Collins as a Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA) and my stepdad had a stroke. I lost my sister in 2014, leaving her 10-year-old, who I help care for, and I help financially support my family. It\u2019s been challenging and I worked a lot to get here!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Proudly, Booth joins the ranks of the nursing profession and is ready to begin working as a travel nurse, after getting some experience working in a nursing home facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis year, I have learned the concepts and I understand the nursing process, instead of just studying to pass the test. Before, I didn\u2019t really know how to study but I have retained the knowledge and I feel like it\u2019s my time now,\u201d said Booth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also celebrating with the 16 nurse graduates at the Pinning and Completion Ceremony was the new lead instructor at the Jasper County Center, Lisa Hammons. She completes her first-year teaching after serving in several nursing roles for the last 11 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCompleting this first year as a nursing educator has been one of the most rewarding and challenging nursing experiences,\u201d said Hammons. \u201cI have found so much joy in watching these students learn, grow, and succeed. I look forward to the incoming class of nursing students and pray that they will find the success that the class of 2024 has achieved.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part of Hammon\u2019s mission as a nurse educator is to impact not only the patients receiving care but also the nursing profession on an even larger scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have witnessed firsthand the critical need for well trained, competent and skilled nurses. I felt that by continuing my bedside career, I would touch the lives of a few patients but by helping train the future of nursing, I was further extending my reach as a nurse,\u201d said Hammons.<\/p>\n\n\n

Earning special honors at the ceremony were three students. Linda\u2019See Little of Scooba earned the Academic Excellence Award for having the highest average score in her class. Shatara Keyes of Louin received the Rising Star Award as the nurse who has shown continuous dedication and exceptional growth in the classroom and clinical setting and her positive attitude and perseverance has enriched her professionalism and nursing knowledge. The Florence Nightingale Award went to Effie Klein of Taylorsville because she encompasses all the qualities of Florence Nightingale the founder of the nursing profession by exhibiting compassion, dedication, kindness and she embodies the true spirit of nursing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
