Registered Nurses (RN) are vital members of the healthcare team. RNs provide and coordinate patient care, educate and support patients and their families, manage patient care, and delegate team functions.

The Associate Degree Nursing (ADN) traditional track is one of three available tracks within the ADN program. The traditional track admits one cohort each fall and spring semester. Classes are held on TJC’s main campus in Tyler. The traditional track is two years in length (four semesters) and follows a concept-based-curriculum. The fast-track cohort is accelerated and takes 15 months to complete (four semesters, including summers) and follows a concept-based curriculum.

TJC and the University of Texas at Tyler School of Nursing have partnered to offer a concurrent enrollment option. The concurrent enrollment option provides motivated students with a unique opportunity to graduate with an Associate of Applied Science in Nursing from TJC and a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Texas at Tyler at the same time.

The concurrent enrollment option is available each fall and spring semester to eligible students who are offered conditional acceptance into the Traditional Associate Degree Nursing Track at TJC.
