ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT<br />

LAUREN MAYHONE, RN<br />

CCHS Class of 2021 and Atrium Health Teammate<br />

Q: Who is Lauren Mayhone?<br />

A: I am from Charlotte, North Carolina born and<br />

raised! I graduated in May 2021 from <strong>Cabarrus</strong> College<br />

of Health Sciences with an Associate Degree in<br />

Nursing. I currently work at Atrium Health <strong>Cabarrus</strong> on<br />

the Post-Surgical floor as a Nurse.<br />

Q: How did <strong>Cabarrus</strong> College prepare you for your<br />

current role?<br />

A: <strong>Cabarrus</strong> College prepared me to be a Nurse in<br />

a multitude of ways. The College provides excellent curriculum, hands on<br />

clinical experiences, and numerous skills lab opportunities to teach students<br />

what it truly means to be and practice as a nurse. The faculty and staff go<br />

above and beyond to pour into their students and help them be as successful<br />

as they can.<br />

Q: What would you tell current students about the importance of giving back<br />

to <strong>Cabarrus</strong> College?<br />

A: I think current students should be educated on the importance of<br />

giving back to their community, and especially <strong>Cabarrus</strong> College. During<br />

my time at <strong>Cabarrus</strong> College, I found a new love for nursing, healthcare,<br />

and making myself available to future student nurses. I would encourage<br />

current students to volunteer in any way that they can. It is very important to<br />

build the healthcare community and I believe <strong>Cabarrus</strong> College has multiple<br />

opportunities that allow students to give back.<br />

Q: What are a couple of things you loved most about <strong>Cabarrus</strong> College?<br />

A: I loved so many aspects of <strong>Cabarrus</strong> College. I loved the staff and how<br />

close knit they were to us. I felt like I knew my professors on a personal level,<br />

and that I could go to them with any and every issue I<br />

had. I also loved the clinical experience they gave us.<br />

Students were given the chance to experience a variety<br />

of floors and specialties. Lastly, I loved the Transition<br />

to Practice Program, also known as the Practicum<br />

Experience. This was the opportunity that made me the<br />

most confident in my abilities as a Nurse. I believe all<br />

students should be given the opportunity to experience<br />

practicum during their time in nursing school.<br />
