Athens State graduate Carrie Trousdale became nurse to show compassion
Her mother’s illness inspired Carrie Trousdale to pursue a nursing degree at Athens State University and go into the medical field, determined to be a nurse who shows her patients compassion and care.
“My mother is a Type I diabetic, and she was in and out of the hospital so much and you can see the difference that the nurses truly make and that can be a positive or a negative,” Trousdale said. “I’ve seen several nurses who are just not very nice and not very compassionate, and also nurses who you can tell love their job, they love their patients, and they want the best for their patients.”
