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

A Registered Nursing (RN) program, such as an Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) or Associate of Science in Nursing (ASN), is designed to prepare students for entry-level practice as registered nurses. The program provides a foundation in the biological and behavioral sciences, nursing theory, and clinical practice. Students learn to assess patients’ health status, develop and implement nursing care plans, administer medications, and educate patients and families. A significant portion of the program involves hands-on clinical experience in various healthcare settings, allowing students to apply their knowledge and skills under the supervision of experienced nurses and other healthcare professionals. The overarching goal of the RN program is to equip graduates with the knowledge, skills, and professional values necessary to provide safe, effective, and compassionate nursing care, and to successfully pass the NCLEX-RN examination, thereby gaining licensure to practice as a registered nurse. This allows graduates to pursue a rewarding career in a high-demand healthcare field. Furthermore, completion of the ADN or ASN creates a pathway for future educational advancement like the completion of a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN).
