NURSING – ASSOCIATE DEGREE NURSING (ADN) AAS
The Associate Degree Nursing (ADN) program is a two-year, 60-credit hour curriculum leading
to an associate in applied science degree. To be eligible to take the National Council Licensure
Examination-RN to qualify as a registered nurse, students must attain a grade of C or better in
all courses, nursing and non-nursing. Support courses must be completed prior to or taken
concurrently with nursing courses as outlined each semester in the curriculum plan. The TVCC
ADN program is fully accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing,
3343 Peachtree Rd., NE, Suite 850, Atlanta, GA 30326; 404-975-5000.
The deadline for completing all pre-admission testing requirements and for submitting the
online application is December 1. Applicants will have until January 31 to submit fall semester
transcripts and TSI completion documentation. There is a selection process for this program.
It is the student’s responsibility to read the current brochure at www.tvcc.edu/healthscience.
Students may apply if they expect to complete the prerequisite courses or become TSI
complete by the end of the fall semester.
***There are two pathways for selection into the ADN program: the ADN Pathway and the RN-
to-BSN Pathway. See the brochure for how points are earned for each pathway. To earn
additional points for selection into the RN-to-BSN Pathway, students should take listed
prerequisites for the BSN degree. (See advisors for further information.)
