The Nursing Department has developed a process to award credit for the Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) and Paramedic for previous course work and work experience leading to certification or licensure. This process allows eligible LPN and Paramedic candidates to advance beyond the fundamental and basic nursing courses that are covered in the early portions of the ADN program.
The Associate nursing program at Horry-Georgetown Technical College at the Grand Strand
Campus and Georgetown Campuses located in Myrtle Beach and Georgetown, South Carolina,
is accredited by the:
Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN)
3390 Peachtree Road NE, Suite 1400
Atlanta, GA 30326
(404) 975-5000
The most recent accreditation decision made by the ACEN Board of Commissioners for
the Associate Degree nursing program is Continuing Accreditation.
