Resilence Rewarded: A Parent’s Healthcare Triumph

Nicole Kula is a single parent who suffered a job loss in November of 2021 when she was a CNA. She started working at Scheurer Hospital as a Patient Care Associate in December. In an  effort to expand upon her healthcare employability, Nicole started a Medical Insurance Billing and Office Admin. program online with Ross Medical Education Center. She received the highest rating (4’s) on her clinical externship evaluation in all areas: Professionalism, Technical and Administrative. GST Michigan Works! was able to help ease the financial burden with $6,000 towards her tuition and Nicole successfully completed the program in August. She is currently still employed at Scheurer Hospital as a Patient Care Associate and is ready to apply for a Billing Personnel opportunity as soon as one becomes available.
