TSU Nursing
Associate of Applied Science
The Associate of Applied Science in Nursing degree (AD Nursing)
program from Tennessee State University has been extended
to the Volunteer State Community College campus in Gallatin.
Most courses are taught on the Vol State campus and clinicals
are
offered at medical facilities in the Vol State service area.
TSU faculty teach the nursing courses and supervise the clinicals
while Vol
State faculty teach all of the other required courses. Vol
State courses include biology, English, mathematics, and psychology.
Upon
completing the program, a student will receive the Associate
of Applied Science degree from TSU and be prepared to take
the R.N.
licensure examination. All aspects of this cooperative program
are described in a contract between the two institutions.
Students who are interested in the Nursing program generally
fill out a Vol State application indicating that they are
"Degree
Applicants" with "Nursing (2 year TSU)" as their Major. A
VSCC nursing advisor will be assigned automatically and the
student will
be notified by mail. Even before declaring an interest in
the nursing program, students MUST take the college placement
exam to
determine what Developmental courses must be completed before
they can even be considered for the TSU Nursing program. As
an
ABSOLUTE MINIMUM, to be considered for the TSU program, a
student MUST HAVE COMPLETED ALL developmental courses
identified by the placement test as well as a laboratory chemistry
course. Effective January, 2001, students who are eligible

TSU for the TSU Nursing program at Vol State will have completed
(1) all required developmental courses, (2) a laboratory chemistry
course, (3) as many of the required non-nursing courses as
