The Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC) School of Nursing at Abilene has partnered with the Health Sciences Center of Cisco College/Abilene to revitalize the institution's long-standing Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) to Associate Nursing Degree (ADN) program.

"Together with the leadership and faculty at Cisco College, we will create an innovative curriculum allowing seamless transition to the RN to BSN or RN to MSN program at Tech."
