Nursing Program

Professional nursing is an excellent career choice, whether you are getting ready to go to college for the first time or you are a working adult exploring new job opportunities.

Technological advances in the health care industry and a shortage of registered nurses have combined to make professional nursing one of the most job marketable careers in the U.S. today. Jobs for registered nurses in the state are expected to grow by 16 percent over the next few years, according to the Georgia Career Information System.

Macon State College’s School of Nursing and Health Sciences offers an Associate of Science Degree in Nursing that will make you eligible to write the National Council Licensure Examination. From there, you can advance your career by completing a Baccalaureate Degree in Nursing through Macon State’s RN to BSN Completion Program. Registered nurses who are graduates of hospital diploma programs may also apply to the RN-to-BSN program.

Macon State also has a Pre-Licensure BSN Program that will make you eligible to write the National Council Licensure Examination.
