Grace Toler
BSN student Grace Toler is combining her love of helping others with her drive to grow as a nurse—building the confidence, skill, and compassion to make a difference wherever her career leads.
Grace Toler discovered her passion for caring for others early on—always the one to offer comfort or help patch a scrape. Inspired by the nurses in her family, she followed that calling to Southeastern, where she’s thriving in the BSN program and gaining hands-on experience in diverse clinical settings.
After graduation, Grace plans to begin her career in an ICU to build experience before pursuing an advanced degree to become a nurse practitioner or CRNA. Guided by empathy, discipline, and purpose, she’s dedicated to helping patients heal—and to growing into a nurse who leads with both strength and heart.
