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.
