I received excellent support from all of the WMCC staff and from all of my teachers. It was valuable to take courses taught by professionals working in health care fields. The instructors really connected the course content to the health care profession."
Sarah Stalaboin from Twin Mountain is in the RN program at White Mountains Community College in Berlin. "The Littleton and Woodsville Centers of WMCC were great places to get started on all of the general education science course that are part of the RN curriculum at WMCC. The teachers were all great and I received excellent support from staff at the Academic Centers and from staff at the main campus in Berlin. Being able to take courses in Littleton and Woodsville was convenient to my place of employment in Littleton."
Anna Serra from Newbury, VT, is a student in the BSN program at Norwich University. "My brother, sister, mother and I have taken many courses at the Woodsville Center of WMCC. Our courses at WMCC have been just as challenging and substantive as any courses we have taken at any other college. The WMCC classes have prepared me well for my BSN coursework. All of my WMCC instructors have been exceptional teachers, knowledgeable in their fields, and approachable as people. I would strongly recommend WMCC as a great place to begin work on a health care career."
Cheryl Kozuch who lives in Woodsville, completed her RN degree at White Mountains Community College. She is the assistant director unit manager for nursing at Morrison Nursing home in Whitefield. "The Academic Center courses were convenient to my home which saved travel time and cost. Because the classes were in the evening I was able to work full time during the day. As an adult returning to school, going part time allowed me to learn needed study skills and to prepare for a fulltime academic course load. All the teachers were excellent and were all very accessible to help and support me. The center coordinator was always available to provide help and direction."
