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.).
