NCC Names New Nursing Director

Nash Community College recently announced the appointment of a new Director of its Nursing program. Tywana Lawson of La Grange, NC, who previously served as the program’s Assistant Director, has been promoted into the position.

Lawson said, “I am excited about my new role and I look forward to working with students, helping them achieve their dreams of becoming a Nurse. I am also excited about working with the Nursing faculty to reach our program goals of ensuring student success. I am very passionate about education as well as Nursing. Fulfilling this passion is never more evident than seeing a student graduate, pass the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) and then come back to say thanks for believing in me.”

Tywana joined Nash Community College as a Nursing Instructor in 2012 and was promoted to Assistant Director of Nursing Programs in 2014. Prior to coming to the College, Lawson was an Instructor at Edgecombe and Lenoir Community Colleges after working as a Registered Nurse at Carolina East Medical Center in New Bern.

Her professional affiliations include memberships with the North Carolina Nurses Association, American Nurses Association and Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing.
