“The TCL Nursing Student Apprenticeship Program (NSAP) helps build and maintain the future healthcare workforce of the Lowcountry.
By allowing students to earn while they learn, the program combines nursing
education with paid clinical experience at local healthcare facilities. This
innovative model supports student success, reduces financial barriers, and
creates a pipeline of skilled nurses prepared to meet the region's rapidly
growing healthcare needs.” stated Vandy
