FAIRFIELD — Just weeks before Wednesday’s graduation, nursing student Arianna Heonis had to put her classroom knowledge to a real world test — administering to her mom while her mother was having a heart attack.
Heonis, 22, from Branford, Conn., was one of about 200 students on Wednesday afternoon to graduate from Sacred Heart University with a bachelor of science degree in nursing.
