Degree:  Associate of Applied Science
Major: Nursing

For more information, contact the Nursing division at 615-230-4760.

The Associate of Applied Science degree in Nursing prepares students for a career as a registered nurse. Nursing and pre-nursing education courses provide the student with the foundation for skills, attitudes, and knowledge for professional nursing. Graduates are prepared to provide holistic nursing care to persons from various cultures across the lifespan in a variety of healthcare delivery settings. Graduates will be eligible to apply to take the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN) for licensure as a Registered Nurse.

Admission to the program is limited and selection of students is competitive. Meeting the minimum program requirements for application does not assure acceptance into the nursing program. A point system is used to rank each applicant. There will be a cohort of students admitted to the Gallatin and Livingston campuses each summer. It is the applicant’s responsibility to ensure all application materials are received in the Nursing Office by April 1st. Applicants who meet the deadline will be notified in writing of their admission status. All general education, sciences, and elective courses required for the Associate of Applied Science degree in Nursing must be completed or in progress at the time of application with a minimum GPA of 2.9. Any courses in progress at the time of application must be completed before the nursing program courses begin. The Nursing program application will be available beginning December 1st and due April 1st. 

LPNs: When accepted into the AASN program, LPNs with a current, unencumbered Tennessee license, may waive out of Fundamentals of Nursing (NRSG 1710) upon successful completion of assigned prior learning assessments (PLAs).  Prior learning assessments include successful completion of the following:  Care plan, physical assessment lab checkoff, medication administration lab checkoff, Foley catheter insertion lab checkoff, intravenous catheter insertion lab checkoff, a dosage calculation exam, and completion of a fundamentals review packet.  All other AASN admission requirements apply.  Contact the nursing division for specific details.

All students graduating with a degree from VSCC are required to take the E-Proficiency Profile (EPP) to meet graduation requirements. More information can be found at https://www.volstate.edu/graduation/exit-examselse - no logic for this link.
