So...run....don't even THINK about HCC.... OMG = oh my gosh... I am so sorry to hear about your experience with HCC. There are just too many negative comments about them adding up. I decided a few weeks ago that I would not apply for their nursing...
Thanks for the information LLG! :) I am going to concentrate on the pre-req's this year and some of next year. Then, hopefully I will be admitted to the school of my choice. I am not sure which one that is yet but I will decide soon hopefully. S...
Thanks for the information Graceful! I have not completely decided yet, lol....but I hope to make a decision within the next couple of months. San Jacinto is still in the race, their pass rate is in the 90's but they couldn't give me the exact pe...
I called North Harris and spoke with the nursing counselor, Sara Laidlaw. She said the NCLEX pass rate is 95.6%. I know I will have to take an Algebra class also. :)
Yeah, I was looking at the North Harris main location I guess because I think that is better for me than the Tomball location. :) Do you happen to know what their NCLEX pass rate is?
Okay good, then you are on the right track with the studying. I have been out of school for almost 12 years and believe me, I am having a hard time with certain things. Well, mainly one thing, ALGEBRA. UUGGHHH LOL... Oh well, I must say that it...
Well, I do not live far North, I live on the Southwest side of Houston, but it will not be a problem for me to drive. Wow, funny that you mentioned an ASSET test. I was going to take one for Houston Community College next month so I could try and ...
Hi Katt! No, I have not checked into that one. Thanks for the information. I am looking on their website now. When are you starting your ADN program there?
Thank you for the reply Graceful! Did you attend school in Houston? I have made my decision to pursue nursing a little late(to me anyway) at 30 years old, I am engaged to be married soon and I will probably want to try and start a family in 2-3 y...
This response is kind of late but I just joined this website recently. Houston's job market is slowly turning for the better. Last year it was awful. I was out of work for 6 months after being "downsized" from Worldcom. Enron was also a terrible ...
The cost of living is lower in Houston than in Austin. That is one reason I moved to Houston. Austin is a very nice place though. Yes, I believe you can make more money in Houston, especially in healthcare.
I completely understand how you would not be able to work right now with 3 little ones. :) The general job market in Houston is slowly but surely turning around. I was out of work for 6 months last year (I was laid off from Worldcom) but I have a ...
Oh wow, that's the second negative thing I have heard about HCC. Well, like I said before they are not NLNAC accredited so that was my first clue. I was also thinking about San Jacinto but I have not gathered any information on their programs yet. ...
I really didn't know where Alvin was until a few days ago. :-) The one thing that is steering me away from HCC is the fact that they are not NLNAC accredited. I have heard that is a very important factor when choosing a school. Do you plan on ge...
Thank you for the reply. Did you get an Associates Degree from Alvin Community College? I was debating between Houston Communitiy College (located in the medical center) or Houston Baptist University.
