This healthcare profession is ever-changing, hands-on, and requires compassion and care,” said Parker Cassady, a WKU senior from Glasgow. Cassady will graduate Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. He has already accepted a job as a registered nurse at the University of Alabama at Birmingham Hospital in the medical intensive care unit.
