Nursing, A.S., at Three Rivers

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 an education and 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 heath care team. 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.

You will learn the roles and responsibilities of the professional nurse, which include:

• planning and provision of care
• patient advocacy
• communication
• health teaching and coaching
• managing human, physical, financial and technological resources in a variety of health care environments.

You will develop the knowledge, skills and behaviors to practice safely, effectively and with competence as an entry-level registered nurse.
