Here is the list of approved RN programs from the TXBON with notations on LVN-RN where available - http://www.bon.state.tx.us/nursingeducation/edudocs/rnschools.pdf

I don't know anything about San Antonio programs, but if you visit the TX Nursing Programs section in the regional part of this board, you might get a little more location-specific information - TX Nursing Programs Discussion - Nursing for Nurses

If you're amenable to a commute, Victoria College - Gonzales campus offers the LVN-RN bridge program pretty reasonably priced that has two sessions - Fall and Spring (HomeThe Victoria College) ... but you might find more success at one of the programs in San Antonio simply to save on the cost of time/gas in a commute.

HTH!

I, too, am researching this as a soon-to-be lvn student.

I think San Antonio College has the cheapest LVN-RN bridge program.

Then Baptist School of Health Professionals.

I think UT Health Science Center discontinued theirs? That's what their website said.

University of Incarnate Word has a bridge program.

I think Galen would be the most expensive, along with Incarnate Word, but you only get and Associates with Galen.

That was so very helpful arlel58! Thank you. Can you tell me if you took the NACE exams and how it was? I am considering them and am going to find a proctor. Did you have any problems finding a proctor? Are they pretty good to work with you?
