Alishia Daniel always wanted to be a registered nurse. “My dream of becoming a nurse started at an early age,” she says. “My mother actually inspired me to become a nurse. It was always her passion to become a nurse. Unfortunately, she passed away when I was six years old.”

The path Alishia followed to achieve her dream took some unexpected turns. After graduating from high school in 2013, she enrolled in prerequisite classes to prepare for SVCC’s Associate Degree in Nursing program. The required TEAS (Test of Essential Academic Skills) proved to be an obstacle.
