Nursing Program
With an ever-growing need for registered nurses across the nation, job opportunities are pleantiful. Registered nurses provice acute care, long-term care and community care.
EvCC's nursing program has been preparing students to be registered nurses since 1950. We're proud to report that 100 percent of our grads seeking work found jobs within six months. Graduates of our accredited program receive an Associates in Arts and Sciences in Nursing degree. The program prepares nurses to go on to earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree, if they choose.
The Nursing Program offers a career mobility approach to nursing education by providing a course of study that prepares students for licensure as Registered Nurses. Students have the option of making application and sitting for the LPN exam after four quarters of study. In addition, currently licensed LPNs can be accepted as ‘advanced placement’ students in a program of study that will lead to their eventual ability to be licensed as RNs.
The Nursing Curriculum includes a strong foundation in communication, biological and social sciences, 
general education and nursing courses. Students integrate theory and practice throughout the Nursing Program. Application occurs in campus laboratories, classroom settings, acute care hospitals, long-term care facilities, and community health care settings.
The Profession of Nursing requires practice that is based on nursing as an art and a science. Thus your nursing education at Everett Community College involves a high level of both academic and interpersonal qualities. Compassion, caring, critical thinking and collaboration, communication, cognitive ability, and professional and ethic conduct are requisite to a successful nursing education and career.
The Nursing Faculty are committed to the success of Everett’s Nursing Students. We work diligently to view each student as an individual who is capable to attaining the high standards of nursing. We strive to assist students to attain their goals, and we endeavor to model the personal and professional characteristics which we seek to develop in our students.
