The Associate Degree Nursing program at TJC opens the door to a fulfilling career in one of the most sought after professions: nursing.

Nursing, Associate Degree

Nursing is a unique, dynamic profession committed to holistic care of patients through health promotion, diagnosis, and treatment of actual or potential health problems. The Associate Degree Nursing (ADN) program at TJC provides hands-on skills training and clinical experience that will prepare you to enter the fast-growing healthcare field as a registered nurse in a variety of healthcare settings. 

The ADN program is a 60-credit hour curriculum that leads to an Associate of Applied Science degree. Graduates of the program are prepared to take the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN). Successful completion of the NCLEX-RN provides the professional credentials to practice as a registered nurse.
