Semester Three is Here
I’m not quite sure what anyone who has survived a semester of this program is expecting of this post. Today was the first day of my third semester of the Nursing program at MDC and it was just as overwhelming as the rest. If you’re looking for relief and comfort in this post (the semester […]
Semester Two in T Minus 8 Hours
Dr. Thomas likes to keep us (the students[“her babies]) afloat, even if she has to lie.
