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.

HCC lost their accreditation and are no longer accepting new students. I suggest Lonestar or Alvin Community College.

Evidence is better than opinions - HERE are NCLEX results for Tx RN schools over the last 5 years.
