Mayumi Negishi Nishinasuno, Tochigi, Japan Nursing major

Mayumi came to MHCC in 2000 after practicing nursing in her native Japan for five years. She took general education classes to attain her associate of arts degree, pass the TOEFL examination and to learn difficult English vocabulary and medical jargon she would need in her nursing education.

In 2004, Mayumi smoothly transferred to Oregon Health & Science University to pursue a Bachelor of Science degree.

“The non-nursing courses at MHCC helped me a lot because it was hard for me to understand English medical terminology,” said Mayumi. “Classes like anatomy and human development helped me to study for the Registered Nurse test.”

Mayumi credits her MHCC instructors and peers with her success in America and believes the college is a great place for international students to start their higher education.

“I have a lot of fun at MHCC and have made many friends on campus,” said Mayumi. “The instructors are very friendly and nice. They help me enjoy learning.”
