For licensed vocational nurses (LVN) and paramedics, finding a path to continue their education and transition to a career as a registered nurse (RN) can be difficult. San Jacinto College\u2019s associate degree nursing (ADN) mobility program is designed specifically for these medical professionals. The program considers work schedules, builds on professional experience, and delivers an accelerated curriculum utilizing clinicals, class time, and a state-of-the-art simulation center.<\/p>\n

ADN Mobility Program Director Shiela Ford says that students entering the program need to be self-motivated, disciplined, and willing to take advantage of resources the program offers. \u201cWe are one of the few programs that offer an accelerated RN program like this,\u201d said Ford. \u201cIn three semesters, our students are prepared to take the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN) administered by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN). This program takes a lot of outside discipline by our students, but it\u2019s very rewarding.\u201d<\/p>\n

For the last three years, Angelese Bentley has been a practicing LVN working mainly in geriatrics, but recently starting working in pediatric home health. With goals to pursue pediatric critical care, Bentley knows that completing her RN is another step to further her aspirations. \u201cI feel like I\u2019m already a step ahead even just as an LVN,\u201d said Bentley. \u201cI feel better prepared during clincials. Employers feel confident knowing that students and employees came from the San Jacinto College nursing program.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another part of the program\u2019s success is the faculty. \u201cOur faculty take the rigor of the program just as seriously as the students do,\u201d said Ford. \u201cWe provide assistance with time management, test taking, and study tips to help students stay on task. We also encourage our students to continue their education. San Jacinto College has transfer agreements with several universities which create seamless transitions for ADN students to further their education at four-year institutions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ford adds that patient care is at the core of the training program. \u201cWe have a heart for the students, but we also have a heart for the patients that they\u2019ll be taking care of. Industry tells us without a doubt that the San Jacinto College nursing students are making a difference.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statics, the average salary difference between an LVN and RN in Texas is $24,130 annually. RNs in the state of Texas can earn an average of $67,860 annually.<\/p>\n
