KELLY WELLER, MCC Nursing Graduate
"I absolutely love nursing--the opportunities and options are endless. I started as a nurse's aide in high school twenty
years ago and have been able to build on the foundation into an advanced professional practice. It's been an incredible
journey that MCC made possible."
