Governor Abbott Attends Press Conference Announcing Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center Vet
Governor Greg Abbott today attended a press conference announcing the new Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Nursing Veteran Bachelor of Science in Nursing (VBSN) program, which will put medically-experienced military veterans on a path to pursue a bachelor’s degree in nursing without having to start over in training.
“The new Veteran Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree program at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center is the future of education, offering online access, competency-based evaluation and credit for previous education and training,” said Governor Abbott. “This accelerated 12-month degree program recognizes the value of veterans’ experience, knowledge and skills. If the rigorous training that military medics and corpsmen receive meets the standard of the U.S. Military, it should be good enough for Texas.”
