Welcome to Pellissippi State Pre-nursing!

For many years, Pellissippi State has been known as the go-to place for students to take the prerequisite courses they need to apply to area nursing schools. Now, we have over 1000 students taking those prereq courses with us!

Many of these students plan on applying to our own associate degree RN program. Some may choose to apply to associate degree RN programs at other local colleges, such as Roane State Community College, Walters State Community College, and Lincoln Memorial University.

Other students may choose to take the necessary prerequisite courses to enter directly into Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) programs in East Tennessee. These include Tennessee Wesleyan College, East Tennessee State University, Lincoln Memorial University, Carson-Newman College, King College, and The University of Tennessee.

We even have special articulation agreements with ETSU and Tennessee Wesleyan so that students who graduate from Pellissippi State with an Associate of Applied Science in Nursing can transition smoothly into their RN to BSN programs.

Wherever you choose to go to nursing school, we are here to help you! At Pellissippi State, your personal and career successes are our reasons for being.

Why should you take your prerequisites here?

• Small classes. We have an average class size of 20 students.
• Convenience. We offer classes online and in traditional settings, daytime and evening classes, at four locations.
• Caring faculty, individual attention. We have well-qualified faculty whose top priority is teaching. Our students find that they are exceptionally well prepared when they enter nursing school!
• Low cost. At under $1500 per semester, Pellissippi State is one of the best educational values around.

Additionally, Pellissippi State has a Pre-nursing Advising and Information Center where specially trained Pre-nursing Advisors are available to help you every step of the way on your journey toward becoming a nurse! This is located at the Pellissippi campus in Alexander 107.
