The Age Of The Nurse
-Shir’Mel McCullough BSN, RN
Shir’Mel McCullough is a practicing Traveling Registered Nurse (BSN, RN).
I am a native of Andrews, South Carolina. I was born on December 29, 1996 (Capricorn) and blessed to be the daughter of Shirley Mae Collins and the late Melvin Darby McCullough III.
I graduated from Sampit Elementary School in June of 2008 and finished off my middle and high school years at Waccamaw Middle and Waccamaw High schools where I received my high school diploma in June of 2015.
In December of 2018, I graduated from the University of South Carolina College of Nursing where I received my Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing degree.
I am currently enrolled at the College of Nursing as a graduate student and will begin studying to obtain my FNP (Family Nurse Practitioner) - DNP (Doctorate In Nursing Practice) degrees that began in May of 2020.
I chose nursing as a career because I firmly believe that the truest judgment of a person’s character is found when they do something for someone who can never repay them.
I spend a lot of my free time busy operating ‘Jits Sitter Services,
In the past, I spent a lot of time playing with the kiddos at Burn Boot Camp, North Charleston Childwatch or assisting in the nursery at Grace United Methodist Church.
