On behalf of the Hagerstown Community College Nursing Division, we are pleased to welcome you and thank you for your interest in our nursing programs, including the Registered Nurse (RN) and Practical Nurse (PN) pathways.

As our community, state, and nation continue to address the growing demand for qualified nurses, HCC remains committed to preparing highly skilled, compassionate healthcare professionals who are ready to make a meaningful impact. Through our nursing programs, we strive to increase both the number and quality of nursing graduates entering the workforce.

For more than 50 years, HCC has proudly educated nurses who provide exceptional patient care in hospitals, clinics, long-term care facilities, and community settings. Our graduates are well prepared to meet the challenges of today’s complex healthcare environment, and many continue their educational journeys by pursuing advanced degrees and leadership roles in nursing and healthcare.

This is an exciting time for HCC Nursing. We continuously enhance our programs to reflect current healthcare needs, advances in technology, and best practices in nursing education. Through strong partnerships with healthcare organizations and community stakeholders, we work collaboratively to strengthen nursing education and improve patient outcomes.

The HCC nursing programs are fully accredited by the Maryland Board of Nursing and the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN), reflecting our commitment to excellence and quality in nursing education.

There has never been a more rewarding time to pursue a career in nursing. We invite you to join our vibrant learning community and become part of a proud tradition of excellence, service, and professional achievement.

Thank you for your interest in HCC Nursing. We look forward to supporting you on your educational journey and welcoming you into our nursing family.
