Carolina Pines Regional Medical Center is nearing the end of a successful first year participating in the SC Student Loan initiative, BOLD Career Pathways, to address workforce needs while reducing student loan debt. BOLD Career Pathways grew from an idea developed by South Carolina Student Loan to expand their impact beyond their anchored products. This approach connects students with employers willing to hire them and help pay off student loans. This helps employers attract and retain employees while giving students a quicker path to being debt-free. Carolina Pines was the first hospital in the state of South Carolina to have a student participate in the initiative. The hospital now has seven students in the program, with three of those students expected to graduate with their nursing degree this year. The hospital will accept eight students in the fall of this year, to assist in keeping the nursing pipeline full, as hospitals across the country are continuously facing serious staffing challenges, especially in the nursing ranks. “We are thrilled to offer this program as a means to attract healthcare professionals, especially in areas of great need, such as nursing,” said Bill Little, CPRMC CEO. “This program helps make CPRMC an even more appealing place to work and no doubt will further strengthen our relationship with nursing programs across the state.” We are excited to welcome these students to the Carolina Pines family!
