Dallas Nursing School

The baccalaureate degree program in nursing at Arizona College of Nursing – Dallas is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (https://www.aacnnursing.org). All Arizona College of Nursing campuses are also institutionally accredited by the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools (ABHES).

Understanding the differences between a Licensed Practical Nurse (LVN) school and a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) school is crucial to planning your nursing career path. This because the education requirements between RNs and LVNs vary significantly. An LVN program typically takes about one to two years to complete. It is intended to prepare students for entry-level nursing roles to perform basic nursing care under the supervision of registered nurse (RNs) and physicians.

Candidates are allowed to retake the NCLEX-RN exam – many times, in fact if they need and want to. However, they must continue to turn in an application to the Texas BON and pay applicable fees. A US-educated candidate must pass within four years of graduation. The last application must be made at least 120 days before eligibility ends.

A nursing assistant provides basic patient care and support, such as helping with daily activities and monitoring vital signs, under the supervision of a registered nurse (RN). An RN, on the other hand, typically has more advanced training and responsibilities, including developing and implementing patient care plans, administering medications, and performing complex medical procedures. RNs also oversee and coordinate care provided by nursing assistants and other healthcare staff.

Earning a BSN degree can open doors to more advanced roles and opportunities in the nursing field as an RN. Our BSN program in Dallas is designed to provide the comprehensive education and clinical experience to help advance your career.
