HGTC’s nursing programs, including both the Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) and Practical Nursing (PN), have achieved outstanding results, affirming HGTC's commitment to excellence in healthcare education and solidifying the College’s position as a leader in nursing education across the region and state.
The 2024 NCLEX results for HGTC nursing students reflect the strong commitment to excellence:
- ADN Program:
- National Average: 92.10%
- HGTC: 93.14%
- PN Program:
- National Average: 89.91%

These impressive outcomes distinguish HGTC as a leading institution in nursing education, especially given the number of nursing students relative to other technical colleges in South Carolina. HGTC’s commitment to academic excellence and hands-on training continues to produce well-prepared graduates who contribute significantly to healthcare in our communities.
Dr. Marilyn Fore, President of HGTC, expressed her pride in the achievement, "Our nursing students have consistently demonstrated their dedication to excellence, and these results are a testament to their hard work and the unwavering support of our faculty, staff, and leadership. We are fortunate to have outstanding facilities and equipment, which, combined with exceptional instruction, allow our students to excel on the national stage. We thank the community for its ongoing confidence in our programs and congratulate our students for their remarkable success."
HGTC’s performance reflects its strong leadership in nursing education, providing high-quality, highly trained nurses who are making a positive impact on healthcare in the region. The College remains steadfast in its mission to provide students with the education, training, and resources necessary to meet the growing demands of the healthcare industry.
With the expansion of the new Nursing & Health Sciences Institute on the Grand Strand Campus, a new location with Tidelands Health in Murrells Inlet, and the potential acquisition of existing buildings along Highway 501 for the Conway Campus, HGTC is poised to significantly enhance its capacity for nursing education, with plans to increase enrollment to 600 students by 2030.
South Carolina is among the top states for NCLEX pass rates, ranking third nationally for Registered Nurses (RN) and eighth for Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN). HGTC’s nursing students are proud to represent such excellence within the state and beyond.
