The Lee College Nursing Pro­gram can help you take advan­tage of the vast health care career oppor­tuni­ties that exist in the Houston Metro­politan region and beyond. Nursing is a high-pay­ing, well-respec­ted, and in-de­mand career path. Job oppor­tun­ities include hospi­tals, clinics, home health care facili­ties, long-term care facili­ties, industry, and spe­cialty health care hospi­tal units.

Lee College offers two tracks for Regis­tered Nursing (RN) — a generic track for traditional students and an LVN-RN transition track for licensed vocational nurses wanting to continue their education. RNs provide and coor­dinate safe, compas­sionate, full nursing care to assigned patients in a variety of settings. The cur­riculum provides students with nursing theory and clinical experi­ences that prepare them to be eligible to take the exam­ination for licensure.

To ac­com­mo­date great­er dem­and for the Regis­tered Nursing (RN) pro­gram, the Li­censed Voca­tional Nurs­ing (LVN) pro­gram has been closed as of Fall 2024, and the nurs­ing labs and fac­ulty are now exclu­sively for RN stu­dents.
