It seemed inevitable that Monaya Miller would go into the medical field. Just about everybody else in her family did. Inspiration from a labor and delivery nurse after the 2009 birth of her daughter coupled with a family tradition of nursing, drew Miller to Penn State Harrisburg's "second degree" nursing program. In December 2019, she received her bachelor of science in nursing. It took a village of family, faculty and classmates to get her there.
Miller, pictured with daughters (l to r) Lyla, Kynlee, and Adelyn said “I want my daughters to know you can be whatever you want to become at any time. I don't like to be the center of attention, but if my story can encourage other moms to go back to school, it's worth it...I think I was meant to be a nurse.”
Miller said she is grateful for Penn State Harrisburg’s “second degree” nursing program, which admits students who have successfully completed a bachelor's degree in another discipline and are interested in a career change to nursing.
Nursing is a tradition for Miller's family. Her father Robert McCoach and mother Debbie McCoach are both retired Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center nurses. They were on hand to pin Miller's RN pin on at a ceremony in December 2019.
