Since there are no online programs that I feel confident in, I was wondering if there are any part time bridge programs in San Antonio, Austin or Houston. I don't live in any of the cities but if clinicals were once a week with online classes. Anything that would be easy to take with a newborn.

San Antonio bridge program is considered part-time. But classes are face to face & clinicals are here in SA 1-2 times a week depending on the schedule you pick (either a 12 hr shift or 2 short clinical shifts) this program is made for busy working students, not an easy program but the schedule can be flexible. Deadline just passed Jan 17th for the fall.

Galen has a full-time day program but from what I hear the schedule is flexible. They have 4 start dates.

Austin only has Austin community college for bridge students, LONG wait list though.
Temple college is pretty good, just north of Austin. They have an awesome bridge program. Designed for working students. They only have one start date per year, I think the deadline is in march.
I just had my son last Tuesday. I'll be starting RN bridge program this fall at San Antonio college. The schedule works for me & I live close by. I've done my research on all programs close by.
Hope this helps.
I don't live extremely close to any of those but those all sound great! Thank you so much!
