Published

hello everybody im really thinking about finishing my lpn-rn in the houston texas area. I would be moving from california. Are the programs as impacted as california. I lived in houston and waller county for a year so im kind of familer with the area. I dont mind traviling outside of houston for ns school. not really looking for a bachelor degree just get looking for a community college. Can you guys give me an ideal of what the waiting list are like or any info for that matter i sure would appreaciate it. Right now i have two kids oldest is 4 and one on the way do you think it would be possible for me to work and finish school? this would be a really big move for me so good advice would be appriciated. -----thank you;)

I'm glad you're thinking about coming 'home' again. As for your other questions, I don't have any first-hand knowledge about waiting lists... but... NS entry is very competitive here, just as it is in CA. There are ADN programs with several community colleges in the Houston metro area. The economy in H-town is faring better than other parts of the country, but many hospitals are on 'hiring freeze' status and reluctant to hire new grads unless they come through a formal transition program (e.g., externship, residency, etc.).
