Many nurses had been coming in and being hired by St. Luke\u2019s. A good chunk of them were graduates from Morningside College, which sparked her interest in the program.<\/p>\n<p>Kelsea feels like the professors in the nursing department want to help them learn.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey are so passionate about their profession and want to pass it on,\u201d said Hoberg. \u201cThey want us to get the information being taught to us and teach in several different ways to get the same information across to the students.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Besides being a busy nursing student, Hoberg is involved in the Alpha Omicron Pi sorority, Photo Club, Morningside Student Nurses Association, and Sustainable Environment Association.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPhotography is not my major, but here at Morningside, it does not matter if it is.
