   Dawn, RN replied to sandybrownfour's topic in Texas

   Grayson County College has an excellent LVN-RN program. I met many of them when they transitioned to the RN program and they REALLY knew their stuff. Very tough program but well, well worth it in the long run!

3. MA's in Texas

   Dawn, RN replied to Dawn, RN's topic in Texas

   How does that work in a hospital setting? Are they even using MA's in hospitals in Texas? I ask this because I read a thread that got me interested in the topic and cannot find the answer. I guess I could just take the NPA and consider it the same...

   Dawn, RN replied to camdiss's topic in NCLEX
