This program is a member of a Texas Concept Based Curriculum consortium. Candidates for this program are LVNS and military trained corpsmen or medic with training equivalent to an LVN.

Admission to the LVN/Military to ADN Mobility Program occurs twice each academic year, fall and spring.  This is a day face to face program. Please visit the website for detailed program and admission requirements.

Curriculum

The curriculum format taught is concept-based.  Concept-based learning is an educational method that focuses on the big ideas and teaches students how to organize and categorize information.  Content focuses on facts, while concept focuses on making sense of those facts and the world around us.  Instead of the traditional method of learning, which concentrates on the ability to recall facts in isolation, concept-based learning focuses on understanding broader principles (concepts) that can be applied to a variety of specific examples.

Clinical Requirements

To fulfill the clinical requirements, students must attend clinical rotations in San Antonio and its surrounding areas if needed.  Transportation to and from hospitals and other assigned medical facilities is the responsibility of the student.  Students should be prepared to travel to any facility deemed appropriate to meet course objectives.
