HENDERSON, Nev. - Each college graduate at Nevada State College's commencement Friday night has something that makes getting a degree that much more special.
"It's exciting. I'm actually the first in my family to graduate, so I mean that's a big accomplishment for me," said graduate Magaly Hernandez. "I'm really excited and happy. It was a lot to go through, but this moment makes it worthwhile."
"It means a lot actually. It was a very long, excruciating journey in nursing school," said graduate Shantel White.
"I'm proud of my accomplishments," added graduate Michael Intinarelli. "I worked really hard to get here, but maybe it just feels surreal. That's the best word for it."
Nevada State College graduated its largest class ever Friday night. The workforce now has a new crop of nurses, psychologists, and educators to choose from, but that doesn't mean those jobs are available.
