LSC-Montgomery Nursing Department

In response to the significant increase in demand for qualified nurses, the Lone Star College-Montgomery nursing program has grown by "leaps and bounds" in the past few years and is picking up top honors along the way.

Along with a 300 percent growth in enrollment over the past four years, the program has expanded from offering training to become a Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN), to a general Associate's Degree in Nursing (ADN) required to become a Registered Nurse (RN). Students can either transition from being an LVN or a LPM (licensed paramedic) to earning their ADN, or they can enter the program with no nursing experience at all.

The program offers a degree for those who are completely new to the field rather than just those transitioning from being a vocational nurse or paramedic. This provides a lot of options for those interested in entering this high demand and very rewarding field.
