The Technical College of the Lowcountry will hold its nursing pinning ceremony Thursday, December 18 at 1 p.m. in the MacLean Hall Auditorium, 921 Ribaut Road, Beaufort.

Thirty-four associate degree in nursing program graduates will be recognized. In the last five years, more than 200 students have completed the associate degree in nursing program.

TCL’s two-year ADN program prepares graduates to practice as registered nurses. 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.

“The TCL nursing program in particular is rigorous but produces extremely qualified and successful graduates, giving them the confidence they need to walk proudly into the nursing field,” nursing program director Sharon Beasley said.
