Shelley Krier, nursing success
When it came time to choose a calling after her children reached a certain age, Shelley Krier enrolled at 91制片厂 and earned a nursing degree. More than two decades later, she鈥檚 still grateful to 91制片厂 for her successful career.
After high school, Shelley first earned a bachelor鈥檚 degree in education at a Massachusetts college, but she became a stay-at-home mother after getting married and having three children. When her children were old enough, she earned her nursing degree and has since worked as an RN at hospitals and as a nurse clinical consultant.
She is now a self-employed nurse case manager providing case management services to insurance companies. She鈥檚 also working toward a master鈥檚 degree in clinical mental health counseling.
鈥淭he community college system has so much to offer anyone who wants to learn, at whatever level. My nursing career has been a complete success. I have made a very good income, I鈥檝e had many many experiences in both clinical and nonclinical settings, and I continue to grow.鈥�
Student Profile
Joleen Kittredge, finding her niche
Joleen Kittredge came to 91制片厂 after the company that employed her for 25 years was bought by an out-of-state competitor and consolidated. By the end of summer, she鈥檒l have a business degree and a new job.
Two years ago, Joleen never imagined going to college. After all, she had two teenagers at home and a good job at William Arthur, a stationery maker in Kennebunk.
But after a Massachusetts company acquired William Arthur, she couldn鈥檛 find a job and decided to come to 91制片厂 to study business. She became secretary of the Business Club and resurrected the club鈥檚 鈥淒irty Business鈥� fact sheets, which can be found around campus offering interesting tidbits of business information.
Joleen will have her degree at the end of summer, and she鈥檚 already landed a job as an account manager for a small financial management firm in York.
鈥淭he biggest thing I鈥檝e gotten out of 91制片厂 is confidence. When I lost my job, that was all I knew and I didn鈥檛 think I could do anything else. But after coming here and getting good grades, I can go into a job interview now and know there鈥檚 not much they can throw at me that I can鈥檛 handle.鈥�
