Program Description:

The Pre-Practical Nursing (Pre-PN) Pathway is an articulated pathway from high school into the TCAT Practical Nursing program through this early post-secondary opportunity (EPSO) for the purpose of providing eligible high school students the opportunity to earn both college and high school graduation credits simultaneously upon successful completion of qualified courses/program.  Pre-PN Pathway curriculum will include preparatory coursework for the Practical Nursing program taught and facilitated by TCAT Nursing faculty.  The pathway is a combination of classroom, and laboratory experiences.
