Northeast Lakeview College Announces New Program of Associate of Applied Science in Nursing
July 17, 2025
Northeast Lakeview College is excited to announce that it will begin offering an Associate of Applied Science in Nursing. This program provides students with foundational knowledge, hands-on experience, and clinical skills to secure an entry level position as a Registered Nurse.
Northeast Lakeview College supports the higher educational needs of students in Northeast San Antonio, Bexar, Comal, and Guadalupe Counties, some of the fastest growing regions in the state. The Alamo Labor Market forecasts an 18.3% growth in region through 2030 for nurses and related fields, much of which is in the area that NLC serves.
“We are excited about the opportunity to bring the Nursing Program to Northeast Lakeview College,” says Dr. Veronica Garcia, Northeast Lakeview College president. “We can train and prepare registered nurses to address workforce gaps as well as the existing and emerging health care demands of the community.”
Using the skills lab on campus, students will get hands-on and real-world experience and practice in a clinical setting. Upon completion of the program, students will be eligible to sit for the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN).
“The demand for Registered Nurses statewide is expected to exceed the available supply,” says Dr. Crystal Saulsberry, Executive Director of Nursing at Northeast Lakeview College. “Providing nursing education at NLC will help bridge this gap.”
Applications open now through August 1, 2025 for the first cohort of students expected to begin the program in Fall 2025. To learn more about the program, pre-requisites, and to apply visit www.alamo.edu/nlc/nursing
