Some journeys are proof that determination can overcome just about anythingβand Taylor's story is exactly that.
A mother of four, Taylor was working part-time as a CNA while juggling financial uncertainty, an aging laptop that barely held a charge, and the everyday challenges of supporting her family. But she had a dream: to become a nurse who could truly make a difference for patients and their families.
Through our WIOA program, Taylor got connected to funding resources, educational support, and even a personal laptop through United Way of Wisconsin's Techquityβremoving barriers that stood between her and her goal. π»
We're happy to share that Taylor graduated from NWTC's LPN program, landed a stable role as a Licensed Practical Nurse at Emplify Health by Bellin, and passed the NCLEX on her first attempt this June! π
And she's not stopping thereβTaylor's already working toward her RN and BSN, with her sights set on one day working in a NICU. π
We are so proud of you, Taylor! Your story is proof that with the right support and an unstoppable drive, dreams really do become reality.
