METC Degree Bridge Programs Save Time and Money (and Change Lives!)
Shane Gabriel, a former Army combat medic and Sgt. 1st Class in the Texas Army National Guard, became a registered nurse (RN) in just 13 months after enrolling in the San Antonio College advanced placement and accelerated "Military to RN" bridge program. The program was developed in conjunction with METC using its curriculum, which was also validated by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing, and was supported by a Texas Workforce Commission grant.
