As a former Ready to Work student, Jenerose credits the program with helping her to develop crucial time management skills and gain exposure to the modern workplace.
“It really helped me learn to balance responsibilities and interact with people from all walks of life,” Jenerose explained.
The program, discovered through a friend’s recommendation, became a stepping stone toward her successful career in nursing.
For Jenerose, nursing is more than a job. It’s a lifelong dream.
“I love doing what I do, and nursing has always been a passion of mine,” she remarked.
While future career advancements may lead her to explore other institutions, MCTC remains a cherished part of Jenerose’s journey.
“MCTC has been a home away from home for me. The people here genuinely care about student success, and I would always recommend MCTC to others,” Jenerose said.
MCTC is honored to celebrate Jenerose’s accomplishments and commitment to the nursing profession. Her dedication exemplifies the mission of MCTC—helping students achieve their dreams and positively impact their communities.
