Mar 2, 2016 Things to look into:-Approval from the BON. Should be provided on the BON website-Accreditation. The two bodies for nursing school accreditation are ACEN and CCNE-NCLEX pass rates. Should be provided on the BON website-Local reputation with health care facilities-Rate of people who start the program and finish on time-Costs

Mar 5, 2016 Alvin Community College has a fantastic nursing program and so do some of Lonestar's campuses, Montgomery and Cyfair especially. I'd stay away from Lonestar North Harris but they're all approved programs. If I recall correctly, ACC had the highest NCLEX pass rates out of all community colleges around here. I just applied to Lonestar Montgomery and they have a pretty nice looking campus too.
