Olympic College offers a two-year curriculum designed to prepare qualified men and women to become Registered Nurses. The two-year curriculum is approved by the Washington State Nursing Care Quality Assurance Commission (www.doh.wa.gov/hsqa/Professons/Nursing), and is accredited by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (www.nlnac.org). The program includes a balance of general education courses, nursing theory, and nursing practice. The graduate of the Nursing Program will receive the Associate in Technical Arts Degree which qualifies the candidate (for eligibility) to take the NCLEX examination for licensure as a Registered Nurse. The license permits the nurse to use the legal title of Registered Nurse in the State of Washington.
