Hey everyone!
So I am currently LPN certified and am gathering some knowledge about nursing schools in Texas. I just moved into the area so I don't know a LOT about schools here. I was just wondering which community colleges in the area are most recommended for having great teachers that help their students pass classes instead of using every opportunity to fail them. I do have some RN pre reqs to take such as Anatomy and Physiology, Microbiology and a couple of others. I figure it I can do my pre-reqs for cheap and apply at a technical college, worst case scenario I don't get in I'll apply to take only the nursing classes at a private school.
Thanks for your help!

Texas is a huge state. It is impossible to answer this without knowing what city you live in....

Hi,
I took A&P 2 online through Ocean County Community College in NJ, and am currently enrolled in a microbiology class there as well. I believe A&P 1 is also offered online at OCC. These are all 4 credit courses and they allow you to complete your lab portion at home. I was able to transfer my A&P credits to another college without a problem and will do the same for micro once I complete it. In regards to cost, it is a cheaper option as well to go through a community college vs a university, even if you are an out of state student. I would look into this college if I were you.
