hi thanks for your reply :) i bet it must be pretty tough doing the classes at night and working 40hrs per week! oh just wanted to post and let you know, i contacted the hcc nursing department and this is a direct qoute: "if you need information regarding whether we are accredited you can go to the website www.bne.state.tx.us and it will show that we are." i havent checked the website yet, but intend to later. good luck to you! angela :0)
