1. Anyone in Houston?

   Honeybee replied to Honeybee's topic in Texas

   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...

2. University or Community College?

   Honeybee replied to Honeybee's topic in Texas

   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...

3. University or Community College?

   Honeybee replied to Honeybee's topic in Texas

   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. :)

5. University or Community College?

   Honeybee replied to Honeybee's topic in Texas

   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?

6. University or Community College?

   Honeybee replied to Honeybee's topic in Texas

   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...

7. University or Community College?

   Honeybee replied to Honeybee's topic in Texas

   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?

9. University or Community College?

   Honeybee replied to Honeybee's topic in Texas

   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...

10. Calling Houston

    Honeybee replied to Pilar's topic in Texas

    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 ...

11. Anyone in Houston?

    Honeybee replied to Honeybee's topic in Texas

    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.

12. Anyone in Houston?

    Honeybee replied to Honeybee's topic in Texas

    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 ...

13. Anyone in Houston?

    Honeybee replied to Honeybee's topic in Texas

    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. ...

14. Anyone in Houston?

    Honeybee replied to Honeybee's topic in Texas

    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...

    Honeybee replied to Honeybee's topic in Texas

    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.
