WHY IS THE NURSING DEPARTMENT LOCATED AT THE PUYALLUP CAMPUS?

Since Pierce College at Puyallup already had a Nursing Lab for teaching the nursing assistant course, it was much more cost-effective to simply add the equipment needed to teach RN students. The Puyallup campus also filled the need to have an Associate Degree in Nursing available in eastern Pierce County. Even though nursing continues to be a high-demand occupation, the Tacoma/west Pierce County hospital facilities are already heavily utilized by nursing students attending PLU, TCC, Clover Park, and Bates Technical College.
