Susan works with people around the state to implement the IOM Future of Nursing recommendations and carry out the State Implementation Grant goals. She works with the Office for Healthcare Workforce to conduct surveys and reporting for demand, supply, and education of nurses in SC. She worked at Kershaw Health for 29 years starting as a Nurse Tech the summer between her junior and senior year at USC and served as the CNO for the last 18. She has been at the College of Nursing since 2014. Susan says, “I like working with nurses around the state, I have been a nurse in SC for 40 years and my hospital work and with the SC Hospital Association has provided opportunities for me to work around the state and that has continued in this role. I also enjoy working with others around the country, the Action Coalitions from other states as well as the Forum for Nursing Workforce Centers around the state.” When not working, she enjoys walking and exercising and the highlight of her life is her six year old grandson
