Notable Alum
Hailey Sebree
The Alumni Offi ce recently had the pleasure of
speaking with Hailey Sebree, an EFSC Nursing alum.
Hailey graduated in 2017 from EFSC with an Associate
in Science Degree in Nursing. She is currently working
in the Pediatric Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (PCICU) at
UF Health, formerly Shands Hospital, in Gainesville,
FL. This unit’s primary responsibility is taking care of
children who need heart transplants. Choosing a career
in nursing was simple for Hailey. “I’ve never wanted to
do anything else!” she said.
Hailey also shared that without EFSC’s amazing nursing faculty and staff , her
experience would not have been the same. “Dr. Hurley, my clinical leader, was like
a mother fi gure for me. She would talk to us as a person, not just a student, and
really went above and beyond for us,” she said.
When asked about the challenges of her career as a nurse in the PCICU, she said,
“We just try to make the kids comfy, love on them and support their families. The
emoti ons really hit you when you walk out of the room. However, there are plenty
of positi ve outcomes to celebrate. Seeing the kids come in for follow-ups, growing
stronger and looking healthy brings tears knowing I’m a part of their recovery.”
Congratulati ons, Hailey, on all that you have accomplished. We are so proud to
call you a Titan!
Ashley Nolan
Many of us followed Ashley Nolan, an EFSC alum who
played volleyball in 2009, as she competed on the
wildly popular reality television show Survivor. Locally,
she is a Lifeguard Captain/EMT with Brevard County
Ocean Rescue, but she more recently navigated
challenges and eliminati ons in the Mamanuca Islands
of Fiji for the chance to win $1 million and become the
“sole survivor.” We would like to congratulate Ashley
for making it all the way to the fi nal six contestants!
