Transitional Registered Nursing (TAN)
Associate of Applied Science Degree
Program Overview
Belmont College offers Transitional Nursing in which a Licensed Practical Nurse or Paramedic can enter the Associate Degree Nursing program.
Following the Transitional Nursing Semester, the student can pursue an Associate Degree in Nursing and become eligible to take the NCLEX for Registered Nurse licensure and practice.
The transitional program allows the Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) or Paramedic to advance his/her education without repeating nursing courses and to make the necessary transition to enter the Associate Degree in Nursing program. All classes are subject to adequate enrollment. Class size is limited.
