Questions about Houston area schools

Published

Hi there :)

I live in Indianapolis but am considering the possibility of moving to just outside Houston...so obviously I have some questions :)

Could someone give me some of the major colleges? They can be either community or private, it doesn't matter. Tuition doesn't matter.

Can someone give me an idea of what the pre reqs are? I am currently a pre nursing student here and will have finished them by the spring...however due to some pretty major life changes I may have to put off nursing school. I realize that most likely my credits will not transfer and I will have to start over again. I feel really lost since I've never been to Texas in my life!

Is it just as competitive down there? Are there any ASN (ADN) programs down there?

Can anyone give me an idea of the starting pay for a new grad?

Or even support! haha

Thanks so much for any help anyone can give me. I'm going in all directions right now.

kgle - I will post a link to te Texas BON site. It is competitve and we have tons of schools here in the Houston and surrounding areas. It is not too difficult to get accepted but I would suggest applying to more than one school. There are ADN and BSN programs along with many graduate schools. We have medical centers so you would be making a wise choice to attend school here in Texas.
