Ms. Cook organized an amazing session to ensure students walk into testing calm and confident. We had an extended advisory on 12/1.

Every Thursday going forward, students should wear their blue Nurses MC scrubs. This helps promote professionalism and school spirit among our future healthcare leaders. Thank you for your continued support in helping students represent Nurses MC with excellence each week!

This month, we want to highlight our incredible Front Office Manager, Ms. Landy Spratt! She is truly the face of Nurses MC Nashville and represents our school in so many beautiful ways. Whether she’s greeting families with her warm smile, supporting students with compassion, or going above and beyond to ensure everyone feels welcome, Ms. Spratt does it all with heart.

She is an outstanding parent advocate and a steady, positive presence that brightens our campus every single day. We are so grateful for her hard work, dedication, and the countless ways she contributes to our school community.

Thank you, Ms. Spratt, for everything you do. You make Nurses MC Nashville a better place! 💙
