BLINN LAUNCHES NEW PARAMEDIC-TO-RN TRANSITION PROGRAM

  

The Blinn College Associate Degree Nursing Program is launching a new degree plan on the RELLIS Campus to provide working paramedics with a pathway toward new careers as registered nurses.

The new Paramedic-to-RN Transition pathway allows paramedics to apply their knowledge and skills toward the coursework necessary to earn their Associate of Applied Science in Nursing.

Blinn worked with Baylor Scott & White to develop the pathway.

Blinn conducted a recent survey of local paramedics with more than 96% of respondents indicating that they would be interested in a paramedic-to-RN pathway.

At the RELLIS Academic Alliance Complex, Blinn A.D.N. students can gain hands-on skills utilizing the facility’s 16,000 square foot simulation laboratories.

Blinn’s Associate Degree Nursing Program has been recognized as one of the top programs in the state by NursingProcess.org, RNCareers.org, and RegisterNursing.org.

Students who complete the A.D.N. Program and pass the National Council Licensure Examination have a job placement rate between 97-100%.

They are also qualified for a wide array of nursing positions including; pediatric, geriatric, hospice, school, and clinical.
