Good news for LVNs and Paramedics in DFW! Now there are more options for those wanting to continue their education.

Yeah, I talked to a lady at TCC South about this program and she told me a couple of things....1st it starts Summer 1 and there you take a bunch of tests to see if in fact you can move forward..(if you do not pass you must start the fall with the regular students at the beginning) then Summer 2 is Mental Health. Then Fall you transititon into regular class with the other students. A&P1 and 2 must be within 5 years...and you do apply between Jan - Feb. I think it sounds like a good program.

How long of a program is it? What are the prereq's? That's great news, I graduate next March to be an LVN and I want to get started towards my RN soon after.

If you pass the tests then it's June to May...As far as the pre-reqs I'm not sure but the website for TCC shows them. I hope that helps...

Tarrant County College has their LVN to RN fast track program up and running... It is about time, it has now been 3 years without a transition program in Ft Worth and it is almost impossible as it is to get in a program . I had heard about this a year or so ago and I knew it was a fast track for paramedics but I dont know about EMT's. HUMMMMMM. Well thank the good Lord. They take applications in Jan - Feb for information look up Tarrant County College and click on dept then nursing. WOOOOHOOOOOO this is good news for us......

Thanks for the info.
