Hi there! I am also in the same boat, relocating to the Houston area for my husbands job from California. I'll have 1 year of ICU experience next month. I'll be living in Pearland so I'm looking at the medical center for jobs as well as some in the Sugar Land/ Pearland area. People keep telling me that I will have no problem getting a job, however, most ICU positions say 18 months- 2 years REQUIRED. This is making me nervous! If any one has any insight they can give me I would really appreciate it! Also curious what type of pay can i expect to make in this area! Thanks in advance!

If you are not working then GO FOR IT! I did it and received a B in both (very close to A's might i add). It was very challenging but if you prepare yourself for the work load and have good time management it is definitely doable! Keep in mind you will be dedicated to school 5 days a week for sure, especially since your class schedule will probably be 3-4 days a week. Stay focused and surround yourself with a good/dedicated study group and you'll do great!

I am currently looking into Westcoast community college and would love to hear feedback in regards to if the program tuition is worth it! I have my associates degree in science with all my pre-reqs completed so it would definitely make a dent in the 100k+ tuition for the BSN program they offer. ( I hear they have raised tuition since last year? Anyone know?) But is it worth it to be stuck in that debt for 10-20 years?? Should i just wait out the waitlist for a community program? Whats everyones opinion on this topic? I'd appreciate the feedback! Also, if you attend or did attend this school, how was/is your experience? Do they help you succeed through the program or does it seem to be all about the $$? Thanks!
