Program Description

Registered nurses care for patients in clinics, hospitals, homes, or other community settings. People's lives often depend on the quick reaction and competent care provided by these workers. If approved by the Texas Board of Nursing, graduates of TVCC's ADN Program are eligible to take the National Council Licensure Examination - RN to become licensed as a registered nurse (RN). This three-semester pathway (for students who enter with 30 general education/Vocational Nursing courses) is designed to validate and update the previous experiences and education of licensed vocational nurses. Upon successful completion of the transition courses in the summer, the transition program students enter the second year of the Associate Degree Nursing program. This degree also provides a foundation for completion of the Bachelors of Science in Nursing degree.
