History of Texas Eastern School of Nursing
TJC began training area nurses in 1951, when it opened the Texas Eastern School of Nursing in cooperation with Mother Frances and Medical Center hospitals.
For many years, the nursing school was a separate, TJC entity managed by a board comprised of representatives from the two hospitals and the College. The school was later incorporated into the College’s landscape of academic offerings, but the support TJC received from Tyler’s ever-growing medical community has remained unchanged.
During the 1970s, Tyler’s growth sparked the expansion of both hospitals as well as The University of Texas Health Science Center. As the city’s reputation as a healthcare destination continued to grow, so did the need for highly trained medical professionals.
In 1981, the nursing diploma program became a full-fledged, two-year Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree.
Today, Texas Eastern School of Nursing is completely consolidated with Tyler Junior College.
