TMCC Nursing

Congratulations to our Spring 2026 graduating class! You made it! We are so proud of you.

In NURS 170, students recently stepped outside their comfort zones to better understand the challenges many patients face every day.

Under the guidance of instructor Gay Lutz, students participated in hands-on simulations designed to simulate sensory and physical limitations. From navigating spaces while blindfolded to communicating with impaired speech to attempting fine-motor tasks without full sensation—each exercise offered a powerful glimpse into the patient experience.

These moments go beyond clinical skills. They build empathy, patience, and a deeper awareness of what compassionate care truly means.

As a nurse, you already make a difference in your community. Do you wonder how you can make an even bigger impact? The RN-BSN Program at TMCC can deepen your knowledge, give you leadership skills, and open doors to new opportunities. And, you don't have to put your life on hold. Designed for working nurses, our program will help you take the next step in your career journey. Our next cohort starts July 2026. Find out more at https://www.tmcc.edu/nursing/rn-bsn

If you're looking for a fulfilling career, the opportunity to make a meaningful impact in your community, and strong earning potential, consider TMCC’s Maxine S. Jacobs Nursing Program.

Through programs like the Associate Degree in Nursing and the RN to BSN, TMCC is helping prepare the next generation of nurses to meet the growing healthcare needs of our region. Nursing students gain the knowledge, hands-on experience, and support they need to succeed in a challenging and rewarding profession.
