NUR - Nursing

GCC’s registered nursing associate degree program is among the most highly regarded in the state. The curriculum, which will prepare you to provide care for adults and children in varied settings, is a combination of liberal arts and clinical nursing courses that can be completed in four semesters. You’ll take fundamental anatomy, physiology and nursing courses, as well as courses focused on pediatric, maternity, medical-surgical and mental health nursing. When you complete the associate degree, you will be eligible to take the registered nurse (RN) licensing exam.
