Notice: LVN-Transition Program Option Start Date Modification
Due to the growth of our programs and based upon your feedback, Blinn’s LVN-Transition program option will shift the start date from June to August beginning with this enrollment cycle (2024). This modification will allow students to transition to the RN role during the fall semester, which is extended compared to the summer sessions. In addition, this shift will allow the program to continue to provide excellent education and further collaborative opportunities for learning.
