   I know the feeling. Regardless of where we go we have the ability to become a skilled RN. At the end of the program we are all RN's in the same boat :) Good luck with your future education!

   Alvin is number 7 in the state and number 2 out of all of the Houston area. Com isn't in the top 10 in the Houston area. My thoughts are that each program may be better for a different person. From my understanding, com has a great nursing program. ...

    lexusaurus replied to FutureTXRN's topic in School Programs

    I heard it's cause com lets students slide and if they don't pass the nclex the first time they pass it the second time. Alvin don't play. They hold students up to a higher standard and that's why they are so respected. Alvin is a harder program than...
