Nursing (156) |
Associate of Applied Science: Nursing |
The Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree in Nursing prepares students who wish to pursue careers as Registered Nurses (RNs). Graduates may seek employment in acute care, doctor's offices, health departments, home health services, hospices, long-term care facilities, and mental health and rehabilitation centers. Students take courses in both theoretical and practical applications of nursing care. The program integrates clinical laboratory practice using state-of-the-art patient care simulators and laboratory equipment for enhanced preparation in the field of health care.
Admission to the Nursing program is competitive; therefore, admission to the college does not guarantee admission to the program. Detailed information regarding the admission criteria, selection process, etc. can be found in the Beazley School of Nursing Admissions Procedures and Information Booklet, which can be reviewed or downloaded from the tcc.edu website (search keywords "nursing admission procedures"). Prospective nursing students must also attend a Nursing Program Information Session, which is held on the Portsmouth Campus. Please see the Nursing Program Information Session schedule online at tcc.edu (search keywords "nursing information session").
LPN to RN Options
Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) who wish to pursue their RN course work have two options: LPN to RN Bridge and Advanced Placement. LPN Transition students should take NSG 115 (4 credits) instead of NSG 100, NSG 106, NSG 130, NSG 152, and NSG 170. Students will also be required to take NSG 200. Upon successful completion of NSG 200 and NSG 115, LPN students will be awarded credit for the classes listed above. LPN transition students that complete the program will be awarded 150 hours toward their clinical hours. ADN students must complete a minimum of 500 direct contact hours and pass the above curriculum with at least an 80% in all didactic components to be awarded their ADN and to be able to apply to take their NCLEX-RN. Additional information can be found in the Nursing Admission Procedures and Information Booklet or online at tcc.edu (search keywords "LPN to RN").
The Paramedic/RT to RN program option is offered at the Portsmouth campus for licensed paramedics and registered respiratory therapists seeking placement into the nursing program. Applications for the Paramedic/RT to RN program option are accepted during the January 15 - February 15 admission cycle. Students admitted to the Paramedic/RT to RN program option begin in summer semester and take NSG 116 Concepts for Health Professions Transition, NSG 200 Health Promotion and Assessment, and NSG 130 Professional Nursing Concepts courses. Upon successful completion, students move into the second semester of the program. When applying, indicate the Paramedic/RT to RN Program Option.
