LVN - RN Hospital Partnership Program
The LVN-RN hospital partnership program offers accelerated mobility to Licensed Vocational (Practical) Nurses seeking an Associate of Applied Science in Nursing degree.
The LVN-RN hospital partnership program is a pilot project with Angelo State University, Shannon Medical Center, San Angelo Community Medical Center, Brownwood Regional Medical Center, and Scenic Mountain Medical Center.
Unique features of the new model would include: a decrease in time of completion of 50%;
- didactic content delivered and evaluated through a blending of online and printed study modules;
- paid release time for completion of didactic and clinical components;
- capstone clinical experience focusing on complex nursing care throughout the lifespan
- adoption or development of a LVN-RN transition competency transcript.
Program admission details and prerequisite requirements are forthcoming. This website will be updated regularly with information on this project. LVNs that want to participate in this new program must be employed by one of the four partner hospitals.
Here is a video (please have your speakers turned on & it will take some time to load) that will walk you through applying to Angelo State University via www.applytexas.org
