Students can earn an ADN through the Basic Track program which is designed for those with no previous nursing or paramedic education. An ADN is also achievable through the Articulation (Transition) Track program which is designed to transition Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) and Licensed Paramedics (LPs) in earning their ADN. The LSC-North Harris A.D.N. program offers an integrated nursing curriculum whereby both classroom and clinical content are organized around a series of concepts that progress from simple to complex.
