Grateful for a Path to Nursing

I graduated from the MJC Nursing Program in 2000 and immediately began working as a Registered Nurse. During my time at MJC I was inspired by many excellent faculty, but none more than nursing instructor Lisa Riggs, who was an excellent role model. She demonstrated compassion, competence, and humanity. After transferring and graduating from CSU, Stanislaus with my bachelor’s degree, I was privileged to return to the MJC Nursing Program as a clinical adjunct instructor. I went on to earn my master’s degree in Nursing and now work at a local hospital teaching other nurses, as well as patients. Thanks MJC for making it all possible!
