Nursing Schools
Below you will find a list of Nursing Schools in San
Antonio, Texas.
San Antonio offers a wide range of degree options for students

entry. To find out more about a specific program, just

Things to
consider before applying to a nursing program in San Antonio
are:
How long do
I want to be in nursing school?
Programs for RN
are generally about 2 years long but prerequisite courses can
take about one year for ADN programs and about two years for BSN
programs. This brings the total time in school to about
three to four years.
What is my
GPA from my prerequisite coursework?
Nursing School
courses are no joke! Nursing instructors like to feed you large
amounts of complex information that you must remember. The
part where most people have a problem is that they only
remember the information. In Nursing, you must also
know how to apply that information to real clinical situations.
It's called critical thinking or nursing judgment. This is
crucial for passing the NCLEX-RN. Give yourself an honest
assessment of your study skills and test taking skills.
Most nursing instructors have a "NO MERCY" attitude.
What is the
minimum nursing salary that I require?
LVN's make about
$30,000/yr - $43,000/yr in the San Antonio area.
RN's make about
$50,000/yr - $68,000/yr in San Antonio.
Do I want to
eventually become a Nursing Manager or become a Nurse
Practitioner?
Most large
hospitals have started requiring management staff to be
"Masters" prepared.
Also, if you want
to go on to do something like Nurse Practitioner or Certified
Nurse Anesthetist, you'll need a Bachelor's Degree first before
moving onto your Master's program.
