San Antonio College offers several paths in the Nursing Program. The General Nursing two-year program allows students to become a registered nurse with no prior medical experience or training. The Nursing Career Mobility LVN to RN program builds on existing skills and knowledge as an LVN or military medic in preparation for a high-demand, well-paying career as an RN. Students can also take advantage of the BSN Nursing Bridge, a program that allows registered nurses (RNs) to complete a Bachelor of Nursing degree in one year or less while continuing to work, preparing them for higher-level nursing roles.
