The Lee College Nursing Program can help you take advantage of the vast health care career opportunities that exist in the Houston Metropolitan region and beyond. Nursing is a high-paying, well-respected, and in-demand career path. Job opportunities include hospitals, clinics, home health care facilities, long-term care facilities, industry, and specialty health care hospital units.
Lee College offers two tracks for Registered Nursing (RN) — a generic track for traditional students and an LVN-RN transition track for licensed vocational nurses wanting to continue their education. RNs provide and coordinate safe, compassionate, full nursing care to assigned patients in a variety of settings. The curriculum provides students with nursing theory and clinical experiences that prepare them to be eligible to take the examination for licensure.
Each semester, students will be enrolled in theory and clinical courses. In addition, skills courses are taught in the first year of the program. The ADN program has clinical affiliates throughout the Houston-Galveston region.
Upon acceptance into the Nursing program, you will learn:
- Theory and clinical laboratory skills
- Ethics and standards of practice
- Patient care technologies
- How to identify problems and develop plans of care for patients and their families
- How to delegate, manage and lead others
