Thanks Honeybee! I love Austin! We toyed with the idea of moving there instead but I could make more money in Houston and we have more family around the Houston area. I love the music scene there...oh well, at least we will be close enough to catch some good shows!
I am currently job hunting in Houston. We are going to move back this summer (my husband is separating from the air force). I have worked in the past on a tele floor as an RN but am not working right now (hubby's schedule is too hard to work around with 3 little ones and inadequate childcare). UTMB in Galveston supposedly has a great flex-op program for ADN to BSN. I plan on working for awhile while hubby goes to school and then checking that out when he's finished. Take care!
I got an ADN from Alvin. I have heard great things about Houston Baptist and not so great things about HCC (this was a few years ago so they may have changed). Good luck and let me know if you have anymore questions.
Delurking to say hi and welcome! I actually graduated from Alvin Community College which is about 40 miles south of Houston. Excellent school with high NCLEX passing rate (not sure of exact numbers...sorry) and also very affordable. If you have any specific questions you can PM me or post them here. I'm actually headed back to Houston this summer and I'm so excited! Good luck!
