Nursing

Nursing Program Overview

A career in nursing is exciting and rewarding and the demand for well-trained nurses exceeds the supply. Spartanburg Community College offers two Nursing degrees.

SCC offers pathways to Registered Nurse (RN) and Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN). 

Become an RN in two years: The associate degree in applied science-nursing prepares you for a successful career as an RN. Upon successful completion of the ADN program students are eligible to sit for NCLEX-RN to become a Licensed Registered Nurse (RN).

Become an LPN in just months: SC's diploma of applied science-nursing is  referred to as LPN (Licensed Practical Nursing). Upon completion of the LPN program students are eligible to sit for the NCLEX-PN to become a licensed Practical Nurse (LPN). Both programs are offered in a face-to-face setting during the daytime. Clinical sites are utilized in Cherokee, Spartanburg, and Union counties.

The nursing program at SCC can help you become a member of the rapidly growing healthcare profession!
