Nursing Program @ the TCC Portsmouth Campus
Letter from the Nursing Program Director
Dear Prospective Nursing Student:
Thank you for your interest in Tidewater Community College's (TCC)
Registered Nursing Program. The nursing profession offers a variety
of career opportunities for individuals with appropriate intellectual
and psychomotor skills in addition to a compassion for humanity.
The nursing program at TCC has a long history of promoting excellence
in the nursing community. The program began in 1970 and graduated
its first registered nurse class in 1972. The National League for
Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC), 61 Broadway, New York, NY,
10006, (212) 363-5555 and the Virginia Board of Nursing accredits
the Registered Nursing program at TCC.
The nursing program is one of many health professions programs
within the Division of Health Professions. Nursing students' admission
records are maintained at the Virginia Beach Campus in the Admissions
Office. The Nursing Program is physically located on the Portsmouth
Campus. However, students may take co-curricular courses (non-nursing,
general education courses) at any of the four TCC campuses. In
addition,
the nursing program is offered on the Eastern Shore at Eastern
Shore Community College.
The graduates of the program may pursue a baccalaureate nursing
degree at Old Dominion University, Norfolk State University, Hampton
University, and the Virginia Commonwealth University. If you plan
to work toward a baccalaureate degree, you will need to work closely
with a transfer counselor and the nursing program head while at
TCC to ensure you meet the transfer requirements of the university
you plan to transfer.
The information in this nursing website is designed
to assist you in following the steps of the admission process.
The nursing faculty and staff of Tidewater Community College hope
the
information contained in this packet will be beneficial to you
as you embark upon a nursing career.
We look forward to hearing from you and answering those questions
you may have related to your career in nursing.
Sincerely,
Denise Bell, Professor
Nursing Program Head
