Miss contestant steps onstage in nursing scrubs.

Miss America has always been all about glamour, dazzling gowns, exquisite make-up, and beauty. However, one contestant, Kelly Johnson, made an exception that caught the attention of the wide public.

Kelley, who represented the state of Colorado, took the stage wearing nursing scrubs. To the delight of many, who didn’t expect such outfit on the gorgeous young woman, Kelly delivered a monologue about her experience as a nurse with an elderly Alzheimer’s patient.

People were totally stunned, their hearts were filled with joy by the fact that a Miss America contestant replaced a gown for nursing scrubs.

No matter if she wins the competition or not, one thing is certain, she has already won people’s hearts.

Kelly, who now works as a registered nurse, is a graduate of Grand View University where she earned a Bachelor of Science degree in nursing in 2015. She graduated as valedictorian of her nursing class.
