Nursing, A.S.

Are you passionate about helping people and communities achieve their highest possible level of health and wellness in a variety of settings? Then, you’re an ideal candidate for education and a career in nursing. We’d like to talk to you.

The scope of practice for the associate degree nursing graduate is to provide and manage care for a diverse group of individuals, families, and communities in collaboration with members of the healthcare team. The nursing practice integrates the art and science of nursing with theoretical principles from the natural, social, behavioral biological, and physical sciences.

TRCC will prepare you to become a registered nurse through a four-semester program of study. Critical thinking, safe and competent practice, caring, professionalism, communication, and holistic care are the core values that provide the curricular framework.

Gaining the knowledge and skills to choose your own path in life: what experience could be more rewarding? Particularly when those rewards do not go only to individual students, but to the centers of business and healthcare and manufacturing and education to which graduates move on. Three Rivers is proud to be part of the community and would be proud to have you be part of ours.

Each student brings something different when they come here. To respond to such diverse needs, we have invested considerably in creating a state of the art facilities for disciplines ranging from nuclear technology to healthcare. With over 30 degree and certificate programs to choose from, your Three Rivers education can take you virtually anywhere.

If you plan to pursue a four-year degree, we can make that pursuit more affordable. If you need to fit school around work, we offer flexible scheduling options. If you have unique circumstances — a different learning ability, experience as a veteran, the need for childcare — we can provide a solution.
