There's something remarkable about choosing a career where every single day, you show up and make someone's life better. That's the promise of nursing at Fayetteville Technical Community College; it's a promise thousands of students have answered. FTCC's Nursing Division is one of the most respected and rapidly growing programs in the region and for good reason.

In response to a growing demand for skilled healthcare professionals, Fayetteville Technical Community College is expanding its Associate Degree Nursing program, increasing enrollment from 280 to 400 full-time students. This expansion comes at a critical time: North Carolina is projected to face a 23% shortage of registered nurses by 2036 — the fourth-largest RN shortage in the nation.
