Tennessee College of Applied Technology-Covington Nursing Programs in Covington, Tennessee

A Registered Nursing (RN) program, like an Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) or Associate of Science in Nursing (ASN), is designed to prepare students for entry-level positions as registered nurses. These programs typically involve a combination of classroom instruction, laboratory simulations, and supervised clinical experiences. The curriculum covers a broad range of topics including anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, medical-surgical nursing, maternal-child nursing, mental health nursing, and community health nursing. Emphasis is placed on developing critical thinking, clinical judgment, and communication skills necessary to provide safe and effective patient care. A key goal is to prepare graduates to successfully pass the NCLEX-RN examination, which is required for licensure as a registered nurse. Upon successful completion of the program and licensure, graduates are qualified to work in various healthcare settings, such as hospitals, clinics, long-term care facilities, and home healthcare agencies.
