Student Success Stories Part 1

Katie Watkins, a standout Storm volleyball player for two years, now spends her free time studying to be a nurse at DCCC where she says she applies some of the concepts she learned on the court.

 

“Just like volleyball, nursing can be tough, “ said Watkins, a 21- year old who works in teams with her classmates in problem- based nursing exercises. “I learned that everyone has different strengths and brings something different to the table. I also learned that we have to respect each other.”

Watkins is a May 2012 candidate to receive her Associate Degree in Nursing, She hopes to pursue her B.S.N. at Winston-Salem State University and eventually get her master’s degree in nursing.
