Nursing Program at TCC 

Nursing is an exciting career with a bright economic future. Nurses make up the largest health care profession in the United States. They work in a variety of settings, including clinics, hospitals, long term care facilities, and community centers. TCC has been successfully training registered nurses for many years.

At TCC, we offer quality education and produce competent, skilled nurses who excel in all facets of health care services. We are proud of our graduates.

The TCC nursing program is in the process of revising our admission criteria for the RN program to be implemented for the Spring 2024 admissions cycle. More information will be available on this website by Summer 2023.  Thank you for your patience and interest in the nursing program.
