Midlands
Technical College offers one associate degree, one diploma and one certificate
program in Nursing.
The mission of the Nursing Department is to provide a high quality educational program that prepares students to become eligible for licensure and for entry level practice as a licensed practical nurse and a registered nurse. The Nursing programs offer, in partnership with local health care agencies, a curriculum that includes general academics and technical skills in an organized, competency-based sequence which facilitates articulation between nursing levels.
Students entering Nursing and Allied Health Sciences Programs will be required to undergo a background investigation that will include but is not limited to: criminal background, including all places of residence since the age of 18; Sex Offenders Registry; Office of the Inspector General; FBI fingerprint record, and any other registry or records required by law. Some clinical facilities may require additional background checks. In addition to background checks, students may be required to submit to drug screening before or during their participation in Nursing or Allied Health Sciences Programs. Students must be eligible to rotate to all clinical locations utilized by the programs. Exclusion from any of the clinical locations based on a positive drug screen or criminal records check will prevent participation in clinical training.
Eligibility for examination candidacy is determined by individual state or national examination boards. Eligibility for clinical rotation does not guarantee eligibility for licensing or certification and registry examinations. Specific information about convictions and exclusion criteria can be found at the Midlands Technical College web site in the areas for Nursing or Allied Health Sciences.
