Columbia, S.C. (WOLO) — As the coronavirus pandemic continues, nurses, right now, are needed more than ever. For recent nursing grads, they’re heading to the front lines to care for patients with the virus.
“I just wanted, as a child, to be able to do something to make not only my own family members better, but just my community in general,” said Monai Tantype, a recent graduate of ECPI University’s nursing program in Columbia.
Tantype said she’s ready to hit the ground running.
“You would think that I would be terrified; I’m very, very excited. I’m very sure in the skills that I have, the education that I’ve had, my knowledge set. I’m ready to get out and help in any way that I can,” she said.
