What formula do I use to add a character to the end of a cell if that character is not already there?

Example: there are multiple rows... some end in "NC" and some end in "N". I'm using the quotation marks to designate that the cells end in the letters. The quotation marks are not in the cells. The cells are of varying lengths. If a cell ends in "NC", then nothing needs to be done. If a cell ends in "N", how do you add a "C" to it to make it "NC"?
