Newcomers to the nursing profession are invited to attend an info session at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 7, in Room 3539 of the Texas A&M Health Science Center Clinical Building 1 in Bryan, located at 8441 State Highway 47. Additional info sessions will be held Nov. 4, Dec. 2, Feb. 3 and March 2.

Discussion topics include nursing as a career, admission criteria and requirements, the application process, required tests and immunizations, licensure eligibility and degree plans.

The two-year ADN program prepares students for a nursing career and for transfer into a bachelor degree program at a four-year university. Based at the Texas A&M Health Science Center in Bryan, Blinn’s faculty works closely with students in a simulated laboratory and in clinical settings.

The LVN-T session for licensed vocational nurses seeking their nursing associate degree will be held at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 6, also in Room 3539 of the Texas A&M Health Science Center Clinical Building 1. Additional info sessions will be held Nov. 3, Feb. 2 and March 1.

The LVN-T Program accepts licensed vocational nurses and prepares them to take the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN) in one year.

Students who complete the LVN-T or ADN program and pass the NCLEX-RN have a job placement rate between 97 and 100 percent and are qualified for a wide array of nursing positions, including pediatric, geriatric, hospice, school and clinical nursing. Blinn’s pass rate on the NCLEX-RN consistently ranks above both state and national averages. New graduates can expect to earn over $52,000 per year.
