As a student, not only did the League promote nursing as a career, but it also provided me with additional support and recognition that facilitated the completion of my BSN degree. The League awarded me with the Student Achievement Scholarship Award in 1990. The MLN continues to support nursing not only with educational offerings, but with camaraderie that is difficult to find elsewhere. The establishment of the Michigan Nursing Career Center in 1991, originally funded by the W.K. Kellogg foundation and housed at our Livonia headquarters, has placed MLN as the most credible source of information concerning nursing education for colleges and universities, health care agencies, and individuals in the State. As the rapidly changing health care field races into the 21st century, the Michigan League for Nursing is uniquely positioned to support the changing climate for health care delivery.
