"I had worked at a Boston hospital for 10 years prior to choosing to be a stay-at-home
mother for 15 years. I knew I needed a program like MCC's and I found it to be extremely
valuable, especially the skills lab which was not available when I earned my degree in the
1980s! I found employment within 2 months of completing MCC's RN refresher course and
I am still working with the same busy Ob-Gyn practice. MCC's RN Refresher program is
highly recommended and serves a very important purpose."
