Welcome - Please read before calling the nursing office

Welcome to the Madisonville Community College Nursing Division blog. By way of this blog, we will provide information to interested students about the program. Because of the large number of calls we receive in the nursing office each day, we are often unable to answer calls as quickly as we would like. Since many callers often have the same questions, please check this page for the answer to your question. You may be able to find the answer quicker here than by phone. If you would like to ask a question on this blog, please feel free to do so. The blog will be checked daily Monday through Friday. Please note that one of the most frequent questions we receive is whether admission letters have been sent out. This will be the only source for that information. Please do not call the office, since you will be referred to this blog.
