My son is a disabled Army Veteran and was an Army Medic and then an L.V.N., he has taken the prerequistes for the nursing program except for the Microbiology. All the prequiste courses were taken are over 10 years ago.
He has been an L.V.N. for the past 20 years working in the E.R. Room.
He lives in San Antonio, Texas and now wants to become an R.N.
Please advise.
Thank you so much.
Maria Vega Lopez, R.N.
