Christine Rowsey didn't know how she would go on. The last three years had been hard, but she still felt that she was making progress toward her goal of becoming a nurse. “I didn't have any money. I didn't have anything—just a dream,” she recalled.
That dream came out of the loss of her son, who was born 3 weeks in advance. Unfortunately, after a whole month in the intensive care unit, the boy left her. Christine's main source of support during that ordeal had been the hospital's nursing staff. “I really loved the way they helped me,” she said. That's when Christine had a realization: She wanted to do something with her life that mattered. Christine was determined to become a nurse and help people the way she had been helped.
She was able to learn in Oakland University's one-year licensed practical nursing (LPN) program. She took out loans (贷款) and worried about how she would repay them. She became the star student but struggled to take care of her family and study at the same time. With scholarships, she was able to cover about half of her costs. For the rest, she couldn't find a way out. That's when Christine found out about a program, which not only paid for her study but offered to cover gas and food. “The program was a real blessing,” said Christine. “I wouldn't have been able to continue if the program hadn't been there for me.”
Christine now works as an LPN in Detroit, where she cares for patients. Through the program, she gives talks to young people about the nursing profession. “Nursing school was the hardest thing I've ever done, and the program helped me through it,” said Christine. “All these people helped me rewrite my life, the way I wanted it to be written.”
