A Non-Traditional Path to a Healthcare Career
"I am so grateful for the opportunity to begin my non-traditional entry into college
at MPC. The faculty have given me the confidence, materials, and time necessary for
me to be encouraged about my future career as a nurse. I have felt empowered to achieve
my educational goals."
