Recognized as the Lowcountry’s top nursing program, the Technical College of the Lowcountry honored 20 Associate Degree in Nursing graduates and 4 Physical Therapist Assistant Associate Degree graduates at its May 9th pinning ceremonies.
“We are so proud of these graduates for their perseverance and commitment to excellence,” health sciences dean Dr. Glenn Levicki said. “TCL’s health sciences programs are rigorous but produce extremely qualified and successful graduates, giving them the confidence they need to walk proudly into the field.”
During the ceremony, graduates receive their pins and light lamps, a nod to Florence Nightingale who carried a lamp to light her path as she cared for the sick and dying soldiers during the Crimean War.
Students experience on-campus learning using high-tech simulation equipment and receive intense additional hands-on practice at clinical sites located throughout Beaufort, Jasper, Hampton and Colleton counties. Many students go right to work in the Lowcountry.
In the last five years, over 200 students have completed TCL’s associate degree in nursing program.
