Michigan - Meet Myranda
Workforce Success Story Submitted By: Northeast Michigan Consortium Michigan Works!
Workforce Challenge
Myranda was a full time nursing student at North Central Michigan College, , while also working a full-time job and taking care of her family and three children. She constantly worried about how she was going to afford textbooks, classes, supplies, etc.
Workforce Solution
When she discovered the Class Room Training (CRT) program through Michigan Works!, she immediately took advantage of the opportunity to jump on board with financial assistance for school. Thanks to the assistance that this program offered, she was able to cut back some hours at work with little worry about making ends meet for her family, and keep her focus on the most important thing, nursing school.
Through the CRT program, Michigan Works! was able to help Myranda with mileage to and from school, and her clinicals. MW! also helped with a necessary vehicle repair and provided assistance with tuition, books, uniforms, and the NCLEX exam fee. This helped Myranda overcome the struggle of trying to work full time, take care of her family, and attend school full time.
Outcomes & Benefits
Thanks to the help MW! Provided, Myranda participated in the Student Nurses Association, received her Associates of Applied Sciences in Nursing, and passed the NCLEX exam.
