An applicant for this competitive eighteen-month program must be a senior in high school, a high-school graduate, or have a GED certificate. First year students spend one‑half day at MTC in pre‑clinical instruction which includes the study of the structure and function of the body, principles of nutrition, basic nursing skills, pharmacology, dosage computation, and introduction to the nursing care of the adult client. This is followed by a second 36-week phase of instruction, which has 15 hours per week of classroom instruction, and 15 hours per week providing nursing care to clients under teacher supervision in the acute care setting (RMH), as well as in the long‑term care setting.
