Nursing Program
Nurses play an essential role in the healthcare industry by providing care to individuals, families, and communities so they may improve their health, and prevent and heal illnesses and injuries.
About the Nursing Program:
NWACC's Associate of Applied Science Degree in Nursing is designed to provide students with a broad base of nursing knowledge, and prepare graduates for the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN) and to function as Registered Nurses (RN).
NC-SARA offers the Professional Licensure Directory to notify out of state students if NWACC's online programs meet their state's requirements for licensure.
Note About In-person Pre-nursing Session Requirement
Due to the continued protocols required by COVID-19, until further notice, in order to fulfill the requirement of attending a pre-nursing session, interested applicants may request a PDF version of the presentation be emailed to them. Further instructions are included with the PDF Document. To request a PDF version of the pre-nursing session, please email Terry Bland at tbland3@nwacc.edu.
