When Mia came to the United States with her husband and children in 2010, she was determined to earn the necessary credentials to work as a U.S. nurse. Before she found Conexus MedStaff® in 2018, she was a nursing student on the F1 visa at Arkansas State University – and before that – a midwife in Morocco.
