In her nomination form, Prescott was described as “a rainbow on a cloudy day” by a recent family member of a patient, and that she is “a professional and shows her love for the job – you can tell that she truly has nursing in her heart.”
Prescott began her medical career as a med tech/caregiver with the Kershaw County Board of Disabilities in Camden until 2010 and worked as a CNA at Kershaw Health for six years. She is a graduate of North Central High School and received her Associates Degree in Nursing from Fortis College in Columbia in 2015. She has been an RN since September 2016 and began working at Carolina Pines Regional Medical Center in November 2016.
