The ADN program has highly qualified faculty, experienced in a variety of healthcare areas who work closely with students in the simulated practice laboratory and in actual clinical settings.

LPN Program Details

The Blinn College Vocational Nursing Program – Bryan Campus is approved by the Southern Association of Colleges, the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, and the Board of Nurse Examiners for the State of Texas.

The Blinn Vocational Nursing Program in Bryan is designed to provide students with the education and training needed to become highly-skilled, licensed vocational nurses (LVNs) capable of working in a variety of medical settings.

Enrollment in the Vocational Nursing courses is dependent upon admission to the program and the college. The program begins with the fall semester and continues for twelve (12) months. The program consists of classroom, laboratory, and clinical experiences. Hospitals and other health care facilities throughout the Bryan/College Station area are utilized for clinical rotations.

A vocational nursing certificate is issued upon satisfactory completion of all program requirements. Graduates of the program are eligible to take the National Council Licensing Examination (NCLEX-PN) and the Nursing Jurisprudence Examination (NJE). The graduate will be considered a Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) after successfully passing both exams.
