HCTC Registered Nursing Programs Awarded New Accredidation

The Hazard Community and Technical College registered nursing programs have been awarded accreditation from the American Commission for Education in Nursing.

Officials say the milestone came through a group effort of faculty and leadership gathering data on HCTC’s pass rates, job placement and more.

School leaders say this will open doors for more nursing hopefuls, especially as the Work Ready Kentucky
Scholarship program provides free tuition for students pursuing education in healthcare
along with other sectors like business, IT, transportation and logistics.
